Maybe in 2022
Each breach needs mending
And thou I do not believe
in the power of prayer,
I pray.
I pray that my daughter and her brother will recall a time when each was the other’s only.
I pray that my son and his father will reach that healing moment.
I pray I will be the lucky beneficiary of things I can only beseech.
Reach, beseech, say, pray
Hope and hope and hope —
