Here's how we get Medicare for All done: Make Medicare whole (no one can keep all the parts straight!) Include vision, dental, and hearing. Begin extending to more people, starting with children. We arrive at Medicare for All, which means great Medicare for everyone.

This guy just dropped into my backyard. I see them all the time at the pond, but this is the first one to drop by the house. Great Egret, not a shadow of a doubt…

Great Egret walking on green grass in front of a brown wooden privacy fence in my backyard. The large slender bird is all white with a yellow bill and eyes. It has a long neck and bill and thin gray legs. Its shadow is cast on the fence slightly in front of it.

Hello #writingcommunity and #poetry lovers 📚💙 For whoever needs it, I hope this #poetrybrew inspires you to let go of whatever is holding you down. 🪽 “Adios” by Naomi Shihab Nye

Adios

It is a good word, rolling off the tongue;
no matter what language you were born with
use it. Learn where it begins,
the small alphabet of departure,
how long it takes to think of it,
then say, then be heard.

Marry it. More than any golden ring,
it shines, it shines.
Wear it on every finger
till your hands dance,
touching everything easily,
letting everything, easily, go.

Strap it to your back like wings.
Or a kite-tail. The stream of air behind a jet.
If you are known for anything,
let it be the way you rise out of sight
when your work is finished.

Think of things that linger: leaves,
cartons and napkins, the damp smell of mold.

Think of things that disappear.

Think of what you love best,
what brings tears into your eyes.

Something that said adios to you
before you knew what it meant
or how long it was for.

Explain little, the word explains itself.
Later perhaps. Lessons following lessons,
like silence following sound.

—Naomi Shihab Nye

These questions are a meditation on what it means to be human We are asked to reflect on identity, memory, trauma, survival, mortality, and love Interesting that some have question marks and others don't. Also (just my maths brain) there are more than 12 questions! #poetry #poemoftheday

Must you have a part in everything? William Carlos Williams, in Nancy Willard's Step Lightly: Poems for the Journey (1998)

William Carlos Williams

SMELL!

Oh strong-ridged and deeply hollowed
nose of mine! what will you not be smelling?
What tactless asses we are, you and I boney nose
always indiscriminate, always unashamed,
and now it is the souring flowers of the bedraggled
poplars: a festering pulp on the wet earth
beneath them. With what deep thirst
we quicken our desires
to that rank odor of a passing springtime!
Can you not be decent? Can you not reserve your for ardors
for something less unlovely? What girl will care
for us, do you think, if we continue in these ways?
Must you taste everything? Must you know everything?
Must you have a part in everything?
