"Everything Needs Fixing"

6 July 2021: I like this one a lot, especially on the day I had my annual physical, which always gets me anxious right before it happens. (It went fine.) Anyway, give it a read/listen. 

From the poet's "About this Poem" note: "This poem gave me the opportunity to reflect on the kinds of living material within my life and how there is a limitation to my fixing, realizing how we must marvel at the magic and evolving beauty of aging...I began to think about the biblical story of Noah, sent by God to repair a fractured world and how there is still beauty to be found in the outcome of chaos.”
