"april" by Lucille Clifton

bird and bird
over the thawing river
circling parker
waving his horn
in the air above the osprey’s
nest my child
smiling her I know something
smile their birthday
is coming they are trying
to be forty they will fail
they will fall
each from a different year
into the river into the bay
into an ocean of marvelous things

I really really love Lucille Clifton's "Blessing the Boats."

"may you
open your eyes to water
water waving forever
and may you in your innocence
sail through this to that"

#FridayReads GENERATIONS: A MEMOIR, by #LucilleClifton Clifton is one of our great truth-tellers, and this work stands among her best. Elegiac and celebratory, unfussy and profound, full of pain and healing and thanks for the ties that hold, this slim memorial contains multitudes, and every word of it is true, “even the lies.”

Thank you for linking to this empathetic article by @lavelleporter about Lucille Clifton, her poetry, her memoir Generations, her poetic strategy as a preserver of memories and forger of resistance and forgiveness. Eye-opening.

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
