The Daily Boost #638

So fresh

FRESH
Naomi Shihab Nye

To move
cleanly.
Needing to be
nowhere else.
Wanting nothing
from any store.
To lift something
you already had
and set it down in
a new place.
Awakened eye
seeing freshly.
What does that do to
the old blood moving through
its channels?


(from You & Yours)
