“Grant me shelter & bread. Grant me porch ledge, mantel. Scented candles, bed. Grant me four walls, a 5-foot fridge & a hall. & maybe four more walls. Yes. Four more walls. & a desk. & a decent laptop, plus pleather rolling chair. So that I might sit & write you a poem, Lord. A psalm praising all you…”— Marcus Wicker, apmpodcasts.orgTagged: Poetry, The Slowdown, Shelter, Bread, Chrysanthemum
