What's New


What’s new is how hard I’ve been working
And the fact that the work is so good.
What’s new are these leaves and this softness
And this dry spot today in the woods.
I’m tired, that’s old, but my anger is gone
I’m broken, that’s old, but my patience is long.
What’s new is the peace that’s wrinkled my face
And the warmth of the laughter that’s filling my space.
What’s new is the way that I’m here - I’m not dreaming, and how I can stay and not run away screaming.

What’s new is who died in the meantime
And the hole in the sky that she left.
What’s new is the lazuli bunting
Who flew down like the jewel of the west.
I’m blue, that’s so old, but I’m strangely awake
I cry all the time, that’s old, but now great.
What’s new is the girl who ticks like a bomb
And there’s so much about her that’s just like her mom.
What’s new is this way that my fear is diminished,
and the work it’s so good, and it’s never finished.
