orangish day in NYC
my daughter sent a photo
she told us it looks like Mars
an orangish day, rather hazy
as if she’d used a filter on her camera
my prayers for her don’t usually include
“may she breathe clean air”
though today, well, appropriate
so I throw that one up
along with a few others
questioning the implications, our collective behaviors
all the reasons why and how and if
hoping for a blue sky soon
