Parading

You do not have to walk on your knees

for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on. —Mary Oliver
Meanwhile the world goes on.
