somewhere in this tangle
of charging cables
i might have placed
my gratitude;
or maybe i dropped it
a ways back
along with all
the unwanted platitudes
i offered to avoid
the discomfort of grief.
gratitude,
disconnect me
from self-sufficiency;
show yourself to me
in my own imperfection;
help me give thanks
for both light and shadow,
what’s been given
and what’s been withheld
in your gracious, gentle wisdom.
