If there were an umbrella

wide enough
to keep everything
we are afraid of

from falling like angry rain
into our lives —


We would use it. 

...


But I’m glad 
there isn”t one.


Through
is the better way
to get through.


…


When the mind is busy, 

I go outside 
& breathe.


…


There is where
I can see
the invisible answers


to the questions

getting in my face.
