home again vulnerable band of shaved
forewrist urgent thirst a settle in-ness
for the now Yolanda at the gate says
i was so worried about you & im so depressed
her silver hair oceanic around her radiant
whole life the generosity of seeing
like folded strata at the shoreline of time
generosity of thy neighbor so literal
when bereft she buys cigarettes two at a time
around the corner & believes in miracles
