Prayer for Michael
by Catherine Fisher
now that you’re not
here anymore
that we can see
we can see you
were both here
and there
all along.
belonging to everyone
as we all
belong to everyone
and between the worlds
as we are all
between the worlds.
your life —
lived in offering
your body —
now grouped of grateful souls
make you here
and
there
and
always,
amen.
