little hymn
for Jenica

Before the light goes cold,
before the air grows slight, before the children wake
from their fever dream -
thank you.

After the structures of battle,
and strictures of my past…
what hard loss had hollowed,
your scarred hands filled up.
Thank you.

It was simple as surrender,
and shocking as the single bolt
of a red tulip swaying above
the tenacious new grass
outside my window,
singing, announcing - a declaration…
Thank you.
