Benediction

 

I must get back there: to that wooden cabin in the woods 

To the open-hearted people 

To circles of writers caring for the earth 


I must get back: to the white-wet laughter 

To glissading on our bums 

To the awe-filled intakes of breath 

To becoming someone I did not know I was capable of being and whom I loved to be 


In the midst of crisis I longed to be pinched again, for the comfort of being held 

Child, this embrace is as big as the moon
