It's Still Life

Found Any Time, Any Place

And she said,
A poet who doesn’t look for answers
isn’t a poet.

But I look for moments, I said.
As if tomorrow I might lose my mind.
As if tomorrow I might lose my sight.

And she said, Ask yourself,
Why do old women return to the Church.

I knew why.
My god-fearing mother did that.
