Beautiful, MK - taking on the joy and grief in your corner of the world as only a poet can do. This one reminds me a bit of Pattiann Rogers' amazing poetry.

If you ever allow peaceful humans to attend the half-acre night-time readings, I'd love to be considered for an invitation 💚

Thank you, Amy. I’ve often thought of giving an outdoor reading, some place in the woods. Maybe on a mountain.
