In My Sun-flecked Drive to Work
Mar 16, 2018
In my sun-flecked drive to work
I said I love you to a mailbox with
handpainted flowers, an orchard happy with new apples,
a work-worn wooden cart, and
a field-tired tractor. I prayed for people
randomly—the guy in the red car, the folks
in the darkened house. I thought of Yogananda
lighting his smile of smiles.
I smiled all the way to work
and the light lessened
my private torments.
