It’s because today is so important
(the skin thin-stretched
over unsounded core)
that this morning I cried over words
I have sung (forgive me, thoughtless)
a thousand times before
It’s because there are swans
in the lake at Nürnberg, white
paper boats in the Freiburg streams

“I Know That My Redeemer Lives”–I couldn’t get through a single verse during the morning’s choir practice.
