Our Choice

OUR CHOICE

this is the winter of our discontent
the four horsemen ride exultant
slaughter in churches
bombed nurseries
corrupt legislators
pollinators dying for lack of forage 
all the sun’s blessings can not
disguise our disintegration

small acts of gentleness
saving horses
and tiny piglets from factory farms
a touch of hands
or smile on the phone
keep the choking smoke away
we are the lucky ones
who see these distant fires
signaling from hill to hill

We Revolve Around Something

circling and sensing
a center not ourselves
we revolve around something
encompassing
relationships, causes
hunger, need 
larger in cognizance of scale 
and belonging
than my private universe
