evening news headline
Man Lucky To Be Alive
it is all of us
*
all this letting go,
said the hands, and nothing
to show for it
*
standing naked in
the downpour, the biggest part
of me does not get wet
*
I bet somewhere there’s
lively applause for all this
beauty we’re making
*
all those years holding
up a ceiling when it was
time to live outside
*
God said nothing
and I listened closer and
really heard nothing
*
your body,
there is not one hair that
isn’t holy
*
I keep no secrets,
the wind said, so no one can
ever blackmail me
