Here I am.
All I have to work with
is presence,
presence and willingness,
life’s breath and life’s
insistent action.

Today I have asked for everything —
the full-on satisfaction
of all joy,
the witnessing of victory
in overthrowing every lie,
at least in the right here, right now
moment of my engagement

I have asked
for all the good I know
and I have asked to know more —
I’ve asked for everything.
I’m thinking maybe
that could be enough.
