Excerpt from Ellen Bass, "Pray for Peace":
"When you walk to your car, to the mailbox,
to the video store, let each step
be a prayer that we all keep our legs,
that we do not blow off anyone else’s legs.
Or crush their skulls.
And if you are riding on a bicycle
or a skateboard, in a wheelchair, each revolution
of the wheels a prayer as the earth revolves:
less harm, less harm, less harm."https://www.ayearofbeinghere.com/2015/02/ellen-bass-pray-for-peace.html

"Poetry is the marriage
of thought and feeling."
Ellen Bass -
"I like cutting the cucumber, the knife slicing the darkness
into almost-transparent moons, each
with its own thin rim of night. I like smashing
the garlic with the flat of steel
and peeling the sticky, papery skin from the clove.
Tell me what to do. I’m free of will."-- Excerpt from "Sous Chef" by Ellen Bass
Full poem is here, including a video of Bass reading the text.

less harm, less harm, less harm."#TodaysPoem #PoemADay #poetry #poem #poems #EllenBass #peace #BikePoem #BikeTooter
