my minute's here

by Charlie Morgan

minutes click by leaving their mark,
sometimes a minute carries a hammer
and those minutes, we remember.

the one where you're blessed
with a tiny palm of energy:
a velveteen hammer.
the one where the phone jangles
telling of death to an aunt:
a molten-steel hammer.

minutes call themselves;
carry hammers;
now, i must dance, my minute is here.

Some hammers flat knock us out, straight up!!! You are full of light and tenderness and awareness in this minute, Chaz!!! Love, love, love to you!!!
