grace and felicity


Against Which  
habit smacks
its dull skull
like a stuck bull
in a brick stall 
and my version
of what I know
is like eye surgery
with a backhoe 
on grace
so much beyond
my pitiful gray
sponge of a brain 
I'd not believe it exists
except for such
doses of felicity
as this.


— Michael Ryan

  1. What a great word, Ruth: felicity. We should use it more often! Your image alone is felicitous. :)
