No time for despair, they say

BY ANGELA SIMIONE.


turning below night-warmed sheets

necessities of conscience

promises, heavy as boots.


clarity of purpose, i whisper

believable as a mother.

an anchor of hope, not a yoke,

​
not a noose.

Slip

BY ANGELA SIMIONE.


I’m going to take your apron from you now.

There is no longer anything for you to clean.

I will give you my shoes.

I will give you my white room.
