driving to her home – v2

knowing her trials, her struggles
bringing representation to her
driving to her home
meeting her where she lived;
honoring her, worthy,
as a client, as a person;
advocating for her interests
for herself, for her children.

knowing her trials, her struggles
seeking to do the right things
navigating the shoals present
competing choices before us;
seeing her first as a person
of sacred worth to God;
advocating for her interests
for herself, for her children.

trying to really listen


trying to really listen
to treat each one
as an equal
to put myself
in their shoes
as I was able
even in chaos
in the pull of the street
trying to really listen
to each one I meet

On Cedar Street


Sometimes I would see
the flash of recognition
on the face of the client, the bailiff
when I mentioned my home address
living on Cedar Street,
between Maple and Beech
in downtown Manch-Vegas;

Instant understanding
of my own kinship
more able to represent them
those on the margins
those from neighborhoods
more like my own
in downtown Manch-Vegas.
