It's very apropos for many reasons. I will probably save the link so I can refresh my drive when I am low. I also love The Poisonwood Bible. Thanks for hosting!

Your poem captures the feelings of helplessness so well. Yes, "it's long past time." Today I have Ross Gay's "A Small Needful Fact."

I'm posting a poem my older granddaughter wrote about three baby birds that fell out of their nest on our property. We tried to rescue them. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, they died.

These are hard times, and speaking for myself, it's difficult to know how I can contribute in a positive manner.

I've read The Poisonwood Bible multiple times, as my tattered copy can attest. Kingsolver is a language magician - how powerfully you harness her words in your found poem. Strikes deep chords ... as does your golden shovel from Prufrock.
