TO GOD ON SEPTEMBER 17, 2020

Thank you God for this soft rain,

For these green trees

And the faraway train.

For this dog curled

And my shortbread and tea, 

For the lover who brought them both to me.

Thank you God for my body and heart

In the Fall of my life that can feel like Spring.

How, I wonder, can this day begin

With such small blessings in this year of fear?

In this hellish year of demise and fear,

In this year that is Godforsaken not at all.
