This scroll of ages paper tied with black yard and labeled "cursive" patiently waited to be read until this morning.
Joliet's first poet laureate Uxmar Torres distributed these poems during the tear down of the 2024 Ye Olde Mayfest at the Billie Limacher Bicentennial Park in Joliet.
For the last several years, my family and I have battled one emergency after another. So I set the poem aside for a day where I could calm my mind and read with clarity.
I've finally had some pockets of time that felt "normal." So today, I untied the poem and read the words.
It was worth the wait.
May you discover good poetry today, in writings and in your life.
Happy Tuesday!
