so Fathers Day (USA) is this Sunday (June 21) when I thought it was last Sunday; I wrote something for Juneteenth last Friday and don’t remember if I was in a fog remembering that date as well; I often think I should write and post before the day and rarely do that; well, by mistake or intention, there are two poems before the days for reading before or on each day

June 14 was indeed Flag Day in the USA, and it was Mitzi’s birthday

not enough to be alive
sorry
but it isn’t

there must be more
there must be someone to
assist because
we’re made
to help

call the subject Eve
or a friend or a stranger
who
were the wives of Cain

and
so to serve
not unhealthy or a victim
for
in either then
we are enough

but once life is secure if not perfection
then
we must have something else
something more
even
beyond tending and
keeping

rather
the human to serve

and should the presence of the Lord
suffice and
for an anchorite or mystic
but
the rest are made this way by
God

to be
also to serve

more than either one
alone as if on or in
a world
of
one
and we’re not crafted in that fashion

we know because
I look at horizons typically
and before the edge is reached
to
take in

there’s you
