Words to Say When Walking Out the Door

Yes, you will be damaged.

You will fail sometimes
and wildly.

Grief may snag its antlers
in your branches
before it leaves you,
before it finds its way.

Life, my one life,
can you hear me?
Someone in the sleep they call their waking
will crush your wonder,
and you will crush their wonder.

Bring your wonder; bring it anyway.

--Joseph Fasano
