Extended magazine of inaction.
Give ‘em.
Give ’em a gun; give ’em a Bible. /
Watch as they turn and go tribal. /
“An Act of God,” is their refrain /
as the children cry out in pain.

Find the Iris bloom.

Unbidden, Spring blooms, /
poking through neglect and pain, /
yellow and graceful.

Winter sky reflects /
in glass and in clouds: wonder, /
pain, weather, and blue.

Flames
Inflame your being, /
swell your foot and make it sting. /
Gout is a mean thing.

Over in the East, /
burning below night’s pains, /
rises dawn’s searching flame.

Pain, grief, love, release.
