loosed of her mind
Where can the person
by Alzheimer’s loosed of her mind
take us
if we let loose
of our needs?

Footprints in the Windsm # 1514–Than grabbery
Footprints in the Windsm # 1514
There be more in the human heart
Than grabbery
And pushing away:
There resides deep and seldom admitted
The need—the need—
For justice
For others
For binding of wounds
For being heard
For coming closer together
For coming closer to becoming human
