"...determined to save the only life you could save" ... Closing thoughts from a poem by Mary Oliver
Thought that very same sort of thought today
almost anyway close
while hiding from life on the floor in our tub
huddle-hosed by a long hot shower
the closest I am to spa relief
a pilgrim's few feet away
from our once-upon-a-time bed of justice
Soaked again and realizing:
I don't have all that much time before
I'm a car on blocks minus tires
