Translate me.

Je suis nouveau a cette chose.
C'est la seule chose
que
j'ai choisi
Je crois que
j'ai bien fait
pour cette journee.

Today's poem new, two.

Catapult.

Starting with today
I know everything
I need

                            but
I can't         quite
find myself
always
being patient
enough to             receive
everything
in proper order.

Realizing this concerns
me
as
I think about what
I'm supposed to be.

But then I stop & see
that I'm doing everything
one person can do to
be complete & free.

New poem for the birthday of Henry Wilson Ramsey (and Emily Dickinson).

Starting on Today. Fade in -- for Emily. The shyness of one & another -- for Henry, the world's sweetest boy -- I did that, that one beautiful thing that became another & another & another. I know this as I breathe in & out & in and look about at the world & see it as good & lovely.
