Parading

Down Sally Cow Lane and Elsewhere

when you’ve been scrubbed

hollow by confusion, loss,
hollow by confusion, loss,
hollow by confusion, loss,
accept joy, those unbidden
accept joy, those unbidden
moments of surcease–
moments of surcease–
the quiet unfolding
the quiet unfolding
around your shoulders
around your shoulders
like a shawl, the warmth —Dorianne Laux
like a shawl, the warmth
—Dorianne Laux
