she talked to a client today
walked him through the agenda,
made that call to the new
head of the board of directors
became that single spoken voice
that split the shadow
wide
wide
open
because there was
a prayer and a purple
candle and send us forth
as messengers, truth-tellers
and witnesses on their page
how could she not find words how
could she not help that client,
a man in a feminine field
who wants to care for
the caregivers who
wants to empower
happiness
she
wondered how
many soft, small words
came into being

as many as flowers, and angels,
