God Says Yes To Me
Kaylin Haught
I asked God if it was okay to be melodramatic
and she said yes
I asked her if it was okay to be short
and she said it sure is
I asked her if I could wear nail polish
or not wear nail polish
and she said honey
she calls me that sometimes
she said you can do just exactly
what you want to
Thanks God I said
And is it even okay if I don't paragraph
my letters
Sweetcakes God said
who knows where she picked that up
what I'm telling you is
Yes Yes Yes

4) Yes I Will, Michael Franti 4:20
5) Harvest Moon, Neil Young 5:05

10-Year Anniversary

I dreamed you brought me chickens
several hens
one sweet rooster
We didn’t have a permit or a coop
those chickens just clucked around the backyard
laying eggs among lilies and roses

I tossed the seed without knowing
set out pans to catch the rain
You smiled at my optimism
came up from behind
buried your head in my feathers
and whispered heavy
Whaddya think about a goat?

Che Fece ... Il Gran Refiuto
By C. P. Cavafy
Translated By Edmund Keeley and Philip Sherrard
For some people the day comes
when they have to declare the great Yes
or the great No. It’s clear at once who has the Yes
ready within him; and saying it,

he goes from honor to honor, strong in his conviction.
He who refuses does not repent. Asked again,
he’d still say no. Yet that no—the right no—
drags him down all his life.

9) Give It Away, Red Hot Chili Peppers 4:44
10) The Devil Went Down To Georgia, Charlie Daniels Band 3:45

The Animals
By W. S. Merwin
All these years behind windows
With blind crosses sweeping the tables

And myself tracking over empty ground
Animals I never saw

I with no voice

Remembering names to invent for them
Will any come back will one

Saying yes

Saying look carefully yes
We will meet again
