It was widely shared.
And ...
I haven't written since.
A month and a half.
No words.
Why?
I could say that I'm busy.
That would be true.
I could say that I was wounded.
That is also true.
But maybe
I'm actually
just afraid.
And so maybe the words I need to say most
Are simply those.
Out loud.
Sometimes
I am still afraid.
I have more to say
More to sing
So much more.
I'm waiting ...
And,
Yes,
Pondering
Till the words return.
