Days of anxiety
and confusion
so much uncertainty
what will happen to this country
who will be the Democratic
candidate not Biden
not Kamala
these days of summer
some of the most beautiful
days of summer ever
just like today
yellow and green
sweet smell of all that grows
all that is alive
today the first Trader Joes
unionized in Massachusetts
today our friends sat with us
on the porch drinking coffee
today we will see a movie
a friend has been making for many years
today I will swim
in Abigail’s pond and listen to music
and write a story about today.
Yes, today. Just today. Today I am breathing and pondering. Thanks, Esther.
Such a great spirit
