from "Advice to Myself" by Louise Erdrich. I love, love, love this poem. And return to it often. Read it to the end. The last line is killer!

slategreyskies @merelybookish I ended up driving to the next town over to get my county‘s only copy of one of her books of poems today. I‘m excited to read it, as I didn‘t even know she wrote poetry. :) 3y
merelybookish @slategreyskies oh wow! I'm impressed. This is the only poem I know by her. Obviously it's great so will be curious to hear what you think of the others! 3y
Centique That is fabulous! Erdrich is a queen. (Although I can‘t function well if I know things don‘t match or mold grows in the fridge, but that‘s just my one of my foibles 😂) 3y
