Y is for Yep

Y is for Yep

 

Somewhere between yes

And a dog’s yip

 

A folksy affirmative that

Often belies

 

Impulse and instinct

Something

 

Jumping under the skin

But we

 

Say something so we say

Yep

 

‘Cause we’re too busy in

Our heads

 

Mulling over possibilities

To be much

 

More than homespun

And you know

 

What might you say yep to

I already know

Psalm 32

Psalm 32

a song when we are done

 

Lord, I’ve lost it all

Age and youth

Health and wealth

Whatever I possessed

Is no longer in my

Hands

 

I wagered life

And sometimes won

Gained much, gave it away

Squandered some

As we are likely to do

 

Here I am, and there

You are

We draw closer all the

Time

With all that

I no longer have

 

Do you still love me,

Lord?

The mystics’ reply is

Yes, always

Yes from the Lord

New Year’s Turn

Yes?
We’ll drop
down gradually
a diamond-looking ball
in each shiny place around the world, where
it’s suitable to celebrate New Year’s Eve as style—and yet
in three-hundred sixty-four (or five) more days,
we’ll do it again in lights
for the new time:
one year
