Long Catchment Poems

Once upon this time
I was listening to the Christian Fathers
retell traditional stories
of God's election and predestination.

Integrity of Healthy Wealth

You have heard it said
Turn your swords into plowshares.

We, both Left and Right, echo that to add
Turn from planting bombs and bullets and barbs
to planting trees, and shrubs and carbon-infested fibers.

always with the option overhead,
two faces of the same mint,

staring back - heavy shiney black
on the coffin road - I stood in the gods
