but i'm really here, if you're looking for me.

So am just simplifying my life. I’m closing this blog down. Well, not really, just moving it back to my original tumblr. That’s aninafish.tumblr.com. 

Toodles.

Whatever harm I may have done

In all my life in all your wide creation

If I cannot repair it

I beg you to repair it,


And then there are all the wounded 

The poor the deaf the lonely and the old

Whom I have roughly dismissed

As if I were not one of them.

Where I have wronged them by it

And cannot make amends

I ask you

To comfort them to overflowing,


And where there are lives I may have withered around me,

Or lives of strangers far or near

That I’ve destroyed in blind complicity,

And if I cannot find them

Or have no way to serve them,


Remember them. I beg you to remember them


When winter is over

And all your unimaginable promises

Burst into song on death’s bare branches.


“A Short Testament” by Anne Porter, from Living Things. © Zoland Books.

I was going to italicize lines for emphasis and realized that the whole poem would be italicized. Be my prayer, then. 


Let’s kneel.
