look, I said to the sky
my yearning is born
in the wrong time
my yearning is born
in the wrong time
these hands that held
books and babies
now hold air
even falling like beauty
this light is silent
oh, cold god

Notes: I like knowing "nothing" was pronounced "noting" in Elizabethan English. The "nothing" itself didn't come from emptiness but from a very long 12-hour (14 with the commute) work day.

Woof, that's a long day. And a long commute! I didn't realize your commute was so long!
I have a friend who was visiting his daughter (freshperson at MSU) and they took photos of this display over the weekend, too. So many connections in this world.
Take time off.
Nicole--I know, right?!
Engie--SO many connections! I love it!
Gillian--I wish!
