WHEN ARETHA SANG

 

WHEN ARETHA SANG



How I Got Over,

she was. Mindful, now.

How we end

our Lenten poetry

with Mary Oliver’s

enjambed lines,

like that,

a striding over

smoothly and swiftly

alternating readers

without interruptions

punctuation gone

like screws from door jams

joyful waters

Of descending birth breath
