For the One True God

Your wind breathes where it wishes,

moves where it wills, sometimes

severs my safe moorings. Sovereign gusts —

buffet my winds with your blowing,

loosen me, lift me to go

wherever you’re going.

 —Luci Shaw

For my brother and sister,

(Not bad, sharing a dedication with the Ruler

of the Universe. Don’t let it go to your heads.)
