mom, she says,
let’s pretend I’m dressed up
as God
*
in the canyon
the sound of water dripping—
between each drop, your name
*
wishing the falls
would name me after
itself
*
tonight the answer
to every question—
yes

Lovely, that last one especially enchanting, And the first one, such a child’s simplicity, but very very philosophical. Yes, of course she is dressed up like God, and so are we all.
So beautiful. This is a great piece. When you get the chance, shoot me an email at mike@9trainpress.com — I have a quick question for you.
Thanks.
