92. a twist in my civility

"And where the sullen Chebar crept
The ritual of my fathers kept."

--Whittier

"Entire countries now face expiration dates..."

& what for you whom i hardly mention
partner in all i possess
your rising & your setting make my daystar
& if i have no words for you
you have plenty for yourself

your packages going out
sometimes pass through my hands
& i am honored
by the passage
at the end of all my catching up

you wait for me
you were there at the beginning

"God will provide. Nothing people do will ever destroy the majesty of His creation."
