gratitude poem for you on a day that didn’t go my way
i was hoping for a million dollar phone call sometime before five and maybe an ice cold soda and maybe a gilded acceptance letter and a screen printed thank you note and a kraft paper wrapped apology. i was ready to accept it all. but instead i received a long stretch of silence: just the cars rushing rhythmically by and no offers beyond the reaching shadow wisps on the wall. by the time i gave up on glory you were half asleep in our bed. i am grateful for the lack of registered letters and wire transfers and congratulatory messages: because here you are rolled up in the blue embroidered quilt reminding me even on the days nothing goes my way your love is gold foil filigree miraculous just waiting for me to cut the lights.
