Episode 55
"Perseverance" by Wilson Brissett
Poem read at: 16:24 & 36:09
Perseverance
Perseverance
she is called—
though many never
see her name
Or face, so glides
she seamlessly
through their world—
she seems the same.
But I have seen her
travel oceans,
weary just
to eat or greet,
And this way shows
a home she's seeking—
not yet found
but not retreat.
Wilson Brissett
