Words from American Poet, Elizabeth Alexander
Each day we go about our business…
All about us is noise…
Each one of our ancestors on our tongues…
Each…is repairing the things that need repair…
A teacher says, “Take out your pencils.
Begin.” …
Words to consider and then reconsider…
We walk into that we cannot yet see…
Praise song for the struggle…
What if the mightiest word is Love?...
Into today’s sharp sparkle…
Anything can be made…
Any sentence begun…
