Universal law

Run with the metaphor, see where it takes you.

She says,

In death,               

He practices

Universal Law.

It is unclear to me

Whether he is lawyer

Or judge

Or if the system

(Such as it is)

Is unlike anything

We have witnessed

Yet.

As with my clients

I run with the metaphor,

Find the truth

That resides there.

Universal Law

Seems a good thing,

A very good thing.

Even carried to its extreme.

Like those trees that grow

In the Garden,

Like those trees

Bearing fruit

Each leaf offered for healing.

Run with the metaphor.

There is truth there.

Universal Law

Hung on a tree

For the healing

Of nations

Sleeping in

I have friends who refer to God as "The Universe."  My beloved and I, whenever something fortuitous happens, like being given the gift of an extra morning of sleep, we say we are "fans of the Universe."  Somehow this feels less blasphemous.  Somehow.

The week spreads out

Before me.

It is a week

Of early mornings.

Already I think about

How I might pare it down,

Add extra morning sleep           

Somehow.

I prioritize.

My daughter’s doctor

Calls in sick

This means the appointment

I rescheduled to Wednesday morning 8 AM.

Can move back

To this afternoon.

It is clear the Universe

Wants me to sleep in

On Wednesday.

I am a big fan

Of the Universe.
