The Miracle

from Out With Lanterns

Is that your story reaches me
that mine reaches you,
that we were born at all, 
that this day is here, 
will never be repeated again, 
that tomorrow will be different, 
will be given if we’re lucky. 
It’s this ordinary magic
that makes me swoon, 
except I forget the miracle
nearly every day.
