By God’s Law, I don’t subside

My tears are diamonds in...

“SUMMER”



Where 
has Summer 
gone?

The world 
has lost 
Summer

Sweet

missing 

all those other 
beautiful  
small dreams 

seen as toys
small and 
inconsequential 

casually tossed aside, 
disposable play,
things

pure shining lights
smiling eyes once so bright, 
switched off,

He was patient very-very

You Never Listened

You never listened,

It's peaceful here in my backyard.
The crows sound happy
with warm October sunlight.

I just read about a deadly gathering in Las Vegas.
Absence of sun-drenched peace.
Inconvenient this time of lost loss.
Death is always inconvenient,
even when invited.

A veteran,

I was listening to Cornell West,

situations we would never tolerate for ourselves,
disvalues like homelessness and hunger,
but also like random violence,

Alongside swastikas, hate symbols...
