How long’s it been, baby
Since a wind came to your window
A breeze of the bilowy sort
And though it arrived loud

A freedive into the depths
And through its grey unknown

A decision that I am enough. The God who created me said so.

This weekend, a storm of understanding is predicted. An Eastern Bluebird cannot be far behind.

Holy, scholarly, or both

It’s what troubles me to the core today

And my sisters too

So let us weep in any and all ways tonight

So the morrow we’ll feel as ourselves again
