Peace For Me Now

Peace For Me Now

	after Baghdad

On the table by the window
balanced on its spine 

this leaflet
butterfly open

and still as a 
butterfly.  

Peace for me now 
zephyr through leaflet.

Peace for me soon
caribou and snow,

loping caribou 
and caribou reclining.

We live in the country and slaughter animals etc. such is life. I hope I did not offend you. I sometimes just say the first thing that pops in my head. and have to get the foot out.
