Tonight Isla asked me to hold her hand as she fell asleep, so "I can know that you're with me." I told her I would of course hold her hand until she fell asleep, but I lied a little. I will live this moment forever. My hand will always be in hers, forever, even when she's too old for hand holding, and too teen to want it there; this night, these hands, they will be my mantra. What an incredible gift to give, this purpose I have. Thank you sweetheart.

March 7, 2013.
This town
asks how to help,
holds hands over young mouths
with organic chloroform gloves.
The kids need something to do
they say
something quiet
something quiet and buttoned up to the neck.
something quiet and away from view.
How polite, they say
How articulate. Just needs a haircut.
Just needs a job,
just not at my place.
