Making Lists - Ruah Bull
What if I could make a list
the purpose of which was not
the willful joy of
crossing things off?
What if I made a list of noticings,
say:
flowering blue sage
my husbands work-rough hands
the turned off radio
red tail on a telephone pole
loneliness
What if every list,
or some,
broke this pencil
and released the scent
of clean grey lead
