JUST THIS, ELIZABETH


JUST THIS ELIZABETH

It's hard to be judging when
you're curious, Elizabeth.
This prayer goes through you to God.
When I forgive myself it's not me.
Blessing arrives from somewhere
I don't know. Here it is,
a post card in the mail
from my own hand. Post-
marked by the government.
From Holden, traveling with Karen,
in a boat towards my down-lake self.
Deep water unbound in time.
