i step up to the morning
as if i were stepping up to the plate, but
i have never been good at sports
been good at some things, but i don’t
quite remember them now
so i step up to the morning- i will begin either way
i will remember i will
and still i will go barefoot
and i will make a space and a time
to howl
at the moon-
for what else is life good for if not for
this

Thank you- I think that I am beginning to.
