(“Come as you are...”)

VI
Come as you are, tarry not over your toilet.
If your braiding has come loose, if the parting of your hair be not straight, if the ribbons of your bodice be not fastened, do not mind.
Come as you are, tarry not over your toilet.
Come with quick steps over the grass.
If your feet are pale with the dew, if your anklets slacken, if pearls drop out of your chain, do not mind.
Come with quick steps over the grass.
Do you see the clouds wrapping the sky?
Flocks of cranes fly up from the further riverbank and fitful gusts of wind rush over the heath.
The anxious cattle run to their stalls in the village.
Do you see the clouds wrapping the sky?
In vain you light your toilet lamp; it flickers and goes out in the wind.
Surely, who would know that with lamp-black your eyelids are not touched? For your eyes are darker than rain clouds.
In vain you light your toilet lamp; it goes out.
Come as you are, tarry not over your toilet.
If the wreath is not woven, who cares? If the wrist-chain has not been tied, leave it by.
The sky is overcast with clouds; it is late.
Come as you are, tarry not over your toilet.

May be an image of text that says "THE PEACE Wendell Berry WILD THINGS When despair for the world grows in me and wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children's lives may go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. come into the presence of still water. And feel above me the stars waiting with their light. For time in the grace of the world, and am free."

May be an image of flower and text that says "Life Is Precious The gracefulness ofa of butterfly, How gentle, and fragile they seem. Gentlyfluttering, Gently fluttering, on a calm summers day, Floating like, a dream. But sadly, there time is over, Hardly before it's begun. So enjoy your special moments, Like a butterfly, In the sun. By John Read 10 Jan 2012."

I keep my feelings locked within It's just a consequence of being me Jimmy Osborne"

ReLeaf, Relief

We asked for a  Japanese cherry,
a redbud, and a sugar maple.
The Friday before my surgery
is when they will arrive. Then Monday
is my lumpectomy. It’s Stage One, small,
and I’ll come home to the Japanese cherry
in our yard that same day.
And my children will be here. I’ll heal.
I was thirteen when I read about this surgery
and felt titillated. A woman’s worry
in “Tell Me, Doctor,” Mama’s Ladies’ Home Journal.
“Sposin’ that he says that your lips are like cherries,”
Ado Annie sings in “I Cain’t Say No.” To me it was a story,
like in Oklahoma, the bad girl in the musical
we played on our hi-fi stereo. The doctor mentioned surgery
and said a doctor should examine her breasts and to me
this was sex, Lady Chatterley’s breasts swinging “like bells.”
I knew people died when they were old. The Japanese cherry
and the other trees are part of “ReLeaf,” free trees
if you sign up early. I’ve been told that I’ll feel
relieved to get this behind me, the surgery,
which is what Dr. Goodrich C. Schauffler advises
in “Tell Me, Doctor” in 1962, when women had to feel
for the cancerous lumps and I sang “your lips are like cherries”
to the record player heartlessly, in Mississippi,
not thinking that the woman in that column, in “Tell
Me, Doctor,” probably would die. Surgeries
were worse. Jacqueline Susann had a double mastectomy,
but the model in her novel, Valley of the Dolls,
only knows how to take off her clothes. A  Japanese cherry
planted in our yard, a redbud and a sugar maple. These trees
won’t have cherries or maple syrup—they are ornamental,
as breasts seem until you hear you need to have surgery.
Sposin’, I sang, your lips are like cherries?

May be an image of text that says "Forever Paul Laurence Dunbar, 1872 1906 I had not known before Forever was so long a word. The slow stroke of the clock of time I had not heard. 'Tis hard to learn so late; It seems no sad heart really learns, But hopes and trusts and doubts and fears, And bleeds and burns. The night is not all dark, Nor is the day all it seems, But each may bring me this relief- My dreams and dreams. I had not known before That Never was so sad a word, So wrap me in forgetfulness- I have not heard."

Juke Box Love Song by Langston Hughes
I could take the Harlem night
and wrap around you,
Take the neon lights and make a crown,
Take the Lenox Avenue busses,
Taxis, subways,
And for your love song tone their rumble down.
Take Harlem's heartbeat,
Make a drumbeat,
Put it on a record, let it whirl,
And while we listen to it play,
Dance with you till day--
Dance with you, my sweet brown Harlem girl.
