Inauguration Day 2013, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
January 21, 2013
The empty wine glass,
chocolates unwrapped,
dirty dishes,
sleeping cat
Falling eyelids,
aching legs:
day fully savored to the dregs.
Outside the rattling wind portends
the coming cold, the battles to be fought.
But today – Inauguration Day 2013 – a moment
to soak in, to drink up, to pause, to celebrate
how far we’ve come.
The sweet taste of liberty & justice,
flowing wider and wider,
The mighty river of history carrying
us – as we steer the course – to and through
the storms – to the Dream.
