a day like no other

(16 March)

x

we had our Ides

tomorrow is Saint Patrick’s

famous days

while

this day is ordinary

formless

without expectation

to do with what

we will

thank goodness

x

it is a Lenten day

for seasons

and liturgic calculation

and it’s important

as a day in forty days

for thinking

and for faith

for faithful thinking

x

but otherwise

it is alone

between two famous days

so different

that we cannot call today

a bridge

it simply is as is

x

and ready

for whatever

we might

unfamously do
