I am so grateful for this tender poem, Julia. I love these lines especially:

"Maybe brutality would be replaced with nests

of tenderness big enough to hold every

bruised and breathing thing."

When figures in high places have hearts that are gardens of concrete, I cherish your summoning us to build, to shape, to prepare and inhabit, nests of tenderness. Thank you, comme toujours.
