Poem: Preach by Therese Tiger

9/3/2018

Preach

By Therese Tiger
QuailBellMagazine.com

After I speak, I want people to be so moved their mouths hang open.
I want the whole world to like me really like me. It’s embarrassing.

Sometimes I get my courage from people on reality TV. Believe it or not,
two real housewives chartered a plane to hand cash to hurricane survivors

in Puerto Rico. Then they went home and bought eyelashes
and vagina steamers but so what. They did something. I wish I could

worship myself like they do. Today I heard a former gangster
speak about her addiction, son murdered, masters degree,

her days in service to survivors, in that room
a hush descended so wide you could hear a hundred silent prayers

of gratitude. Our mouths hung open, she said everything there is
nothing more to say.

and you said everything, too.....some of your poems are so painful to read....as a sister I want to snatch you up and save you.....and yet we all went through similar scenarios.....I just didn't need saving; I had been taught to be alone.

How to Setup Solar

Step 1. Create a Homepage

Even if you already have a home page, you'll need to create a new one since Solar needs a blank page to automatically pull and display your blog posts in the magazine layout. You can create a new homepage by going to "Pages" at the top, click on the "+" icon and select "Standard" page.

Step 2. Apply "solar" Page Layout

Once you create a new homepage, apply the "solar" page layout to the new homepage. You can do this by clicking on "Pages" at the top, select the homepage on the left, and under "HEADER TYPE", select "solar".

Step 3. Create A Blog

If your site doesn't have a Weebly "Blog" page, then create a new "Blog" page. You can do this by clicking on "Pages" at the top, click on the "+" icon and select "Blog Page".

Step 4. Setup Blog Automation

Come back to this screen and fill in the input boxes with the URL of your "Blog" page and 3 category URLs from that blog.
