Here’s today’s poem, followed by the source text:

our truck, our dog

 

after all the bad nights

and my failure to mother

after all the need we failed to repair

evacuated our home of bad luck

 

and there in the beautiful forest

then in the deep air of summer

my husband broke down

 

the petrified beautiful night

was our last close call
