How the Steeple Casts its Shadow | Mother Imperfect
https://motherimperfect.wordpress.com/2015/07/11/how-the-steeple-casts-its-shadow
Mothering the Best I Can Today. July 11, 2015. How the Steeple Casts its Shadow. A poem written on the day I turn forty-five,. After a month of exhausting myself with worry. Over my son’s right ear. At 45 years of age, I’ve noticed that. The journey is no longer. Instead, I arrive to each day as it comes. Here, I will stand as the aged tree with lost limbs:. Always reaching, always grounding. Here,. I can both feel sunlight and offer shade. How much is lost in translation? The Great Teacher did not say,.

Poet, Performer, Educator. Harrisburg Race Riot, 1969). Crumbling, paint peeling,. Yesterday and tomorrow–. I seen them stuff my childhood. Into a brown beer bottle. Set it aflame and send it a-flying. Go up in smoke,. Glass between me and. An aging, white-framed city,. Like my heart beating the rhythms. Of fear and freedom songs. Like old tree roots under concrete. Bubble up, then boil than burn. I seen it blow, I seen it blow. I seen it blow. When they refused her service,. I seen teachers turn tail,.
