| Posted by Anita Mac Auslan on 01/26/09 at 11:39 PM That last stanza is absolutely breathtaking to me... But what I think drew me in more than anything are the last 3 lines of the first stanza. Complete first to last; I would expect no less from you. |

It works, conjuring images of the crowded Mall, Reflecting Pool the only uninhabited space, breath turning to mist, the President and First Lady as the focus of so many millions, the channels of justice, democracy, hope. |
