To hear Danez Smith (who wrote “little prayer”) in action at the Chicago Humanities Festival : (thank you Kathy) "Dear White America - a poem from his book Don't Call Us Dead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSp4v294xog
Such a different tone from the one we read. To feel calm again, try reading “Little Prayer” backwards:
Let it be
& if not,
let this be the healing
& find a field of lilacs
… etc.
