My Family Is Singing Tonight

Not in my best frame of mind.
AND my blog stopped working.
But my family is singing tonight!

I feel in a bind
about shining or shrinking—
mind

mined with blind
alleys—but let me ignore the talking
heads! Tonight

won’t be just any night,
because my family is singing—
all dire frames of mind

limering behind
in valleys where new paths are forking;
flooded with brightness

as we step candidly into the light,
even my silly poetry blog joining
the tintinnabulation of a better frame of mind.
I’ll be all smiles tonight!
