I r e n e M i t c h e l l
H o l d i n g s o f V a l u e
for Carolyn
Take Peace,
everyone’s darling;
composure
after panic is derailed.
Take Light,
the luster of forge ahead,
the amber of wait-here-a-moment.
Take Music
as if unafraid.
Read love letters
as a precious ore.
(So long on tap have they held a breath.)
Write your letters to the world, cherishing
the outspread lexicon.
