Thanksgiving
I want to
Give you my thanks
do what you do with it
use it to praise yourself
humble yourself
accept yourself
think you are better than me
whatever
it’s all yours now.
Thanksgiving II
I want to
Give you my thanks
Take it and
cherish it
Let it blossom
in fertile souls
watch it give birth
to full bodied trees
in wisdom of eternity
treasure it as –
I forgot to leave any
For me.
Thanksgiving III
I want to
Give you my thanks
Take it and
pass it on
to somebody more hungry
someone more needy
use it to find
something left unthanked
something the thankers
and the thinkers and the thanked
had forgotten – they are all
full of it.
Thanksgiving IV
I want to
Give you my thanks
Take it and –
Yes, I said you
you the fairies and you the stars
you the oceans and you the clouds
you the angels and you the saints
you the dirt and you the grass
you the flowers and you the bees
you the simple and you the lost
take it to you
thank you.
