My blog--I pull a card--if it doesn't speak to me...perhaps it is for you?

Nurse's Day 2020

I am a nurse
with no wish
to be a hero.

I will retire this spring
away from this throb of virus
and mobs with guns.

I will wear my mask
and dream of fields of children
and no mean streets.

I will help
to sing the dying
to their sleep
somewhere in more expansive light
as they unravel
all the tangled knots.
