Something Better
April 1, 2011
Days waltzing past
Catching other’s eyes
About
to
speak
All about
Noise
All about
Bramble
Ancestors on our tongues
Stitched praise
Holed praise
Torn praise
Patched Praise
Repair
Repair
Repair
Waiting
Changing
Whispered
Declaimed
Struggle, love, grief
The day’s sharp sparkle
Crackling winter air
On the brink
the brim
the edge of forever
Praise
Something better
down the road
* Adaptation of Elizabeth Alexander’s “Praise Song for the Day”
