Poem
a flustered tango of Gypsy moths 
drumming the porchlight; chalk artists; 
the endemic disappearance of farms—silos lost 
in unkempt fields;  space stations; the sunlit-scent of lemon 
oil on cherry wood; birth; the chasm between cultural 
appropriation & cultural appreciation; the history in our dust; 
loneliness & heartbreak; trivia; funky funerals;  
climate change, hurricanes, earthquakes & neglected 
victims;  heirloom charm bracelets, homemade 
wind chimes & the homing sound made by a singing bowl; 
masquerade balls; cityscapes hidden in ant hills; fly 
fishing; serendipitous skinny dipping; missing children, 
teddy bear memorials, forensic identification, monsters 
never found in sleepy towns;  the horrors of zoos—
elephants gone mad, lions robbed of their pride;
book reviews;  civil unrest, bad cops & good cops & young men 
gunned down; brand new fire stations; cancer survivors who wear 
baldness so beautifully; my favourite pair of jeans; river rocks 
found by dearest hands; a letter that can never be 
received; joyful celebrations;  incandescent dragonfly 
dreams; twenty million at risk of starving to death; 
wildflowers shaking pretty little heads; 
misogyny disguised as religion; forgotten veterans who die 
a bit more inside every day; the rainforest, shrinking; 
saintly stoners & postulant prostitutes; toxic smog; 
madmen with warheads; cheese cake & ice wine; 
every personalized Kama sutra move & the God-given 
ecstasy of body on body language; holding hands;  
why one giggle can change everything; Thanksgiving 
prayers; abandoned minefields, boy soldiers & devastating 
amputations;  the songs of the working poor; lightning 
over the lake; his timely phone calls; brotherhood & sisterhood; 
love in its every form;  old maps; twenty-one gun salutes;  
the extinction of the Galapagos Giant Tortoise; being 
five, being twenty five, being ninety-five; kites; dogs chawing 
on ragged rawhide; church-like museums on a Sunday 
afternoon; make-shift picnics; deja vu; thrift store
wedding dresses; long drives with comfortable silences;
fading freedoms; censorship;  seamless moonlight;  
introspective dalliances with self-acceptance;  the power 
of purpose; how to be the bigger person;  how to go 
in a new direction; how to rise above . . .
