Imagine the Angels of Bread

Because I just thought of it and had to reread it, have one of my favourite poems.

I can never get all the way through it without tearing up. This time, it got me at "This is the year that those/who swim the border's undertow/and shiver in boxcars/are greeted with trumpets and drums." May it be so.

Thanks for the link: I hadn't read this poem before, and it's beautiful.

That is an amazing poem. I'll have to hang onto it for one of those times when I need a poem.
