-for Fanny H. Salmon

The world busy
with writers today.
I see the evidence 
online with our
humble corner of 
poets, living lives
and writing about
the same. The wish
of it, placing
hope and longing
to words. The world
turns and writers
flip their lights off,
go to bed, while others
wake and go about
their business, so that
there is at least someone
writing all hours, and
it comes again to
my turn. Let me
not disappoint.
