Attention
Sometimes all you can do is let time heal the wounds. Or as Moya Cannon says, "until the mind is able to trust the storm to bear up our weight of flesh and bone."
Sometimes there is nothing
absolutely nothing
to be done but watch
and wait
and let the clock which breaks our days
let go its grasp
until the mind is able
to trust the storm
to bear up our weight of flesh and bone
to take on the time of breath
the rhythm of blood
a rhythm held
between two breaths
a bright cry
a last rasp.
