she is asking for more than/ most men are able to give,/ but she means to have what she/ has earned,/ sweet sighs, safe houses,/ hands she can trust

The moon understands dark places. The moon has secrets of her own. She holds what light she can.

Blessing the Boats

by Lucille Clifton

(at St. Mary’s)

may the tide that is entering even now the lip of our understanding carry you out beyond the face of fear may you kiss the wind then turn from it certain that it will love your back     may you open your eyes to water water waving forever and may you in your innocence sail through this to that
