thank you gods for most this amazing life

(with apologies to e.e. cummings)

thank you gods for most this amazing
life: for the laughing wildly soul of boy
and the yellow mellow poetry of man; and for everything
which is complete which is still growing which is maybe

(i who have slept am awake again today,
and this is the moon’s holiday; this is the death
of yesterday and what was and wasn’t: and of the excited
empty everlasting unbelievable ocean)

how should living loving dancing singing
howling all-knowing from the mother
of all non-mothers barely breathing
question unforeseen Us?

(now the tongue of my tongues alive and
now the word of my words are unraveled)

happy thanksgiving, my dear ones.

I'm guilty this week of complaining. I told a friend that my ship was sinking. She just looked at me and said.."then enjoy your new view of the ocean." Nice to be surrounded by friends and family like that.
