OCTOBER 2023

 

No point waiting for a rain to start the green

until October, and even then it’s blasphemy

to pray or say the word out loud to anyone—

especially with El Niño mapped and gathering

off shore, lapping Jeffer’s granite with warm waves

 

of poetry—just load and feed the hay like always.

No point worrying about the news a thousand miles away

or all the hobgoblins waiting in ambush down the road

littered with deceptions and diversions, lust and greed

to greet you—just load and feed the hay like always.

 

 

One response to “OCTOBER 2023

  1. Thanks for this one especially John. For some reason it hit a core and made me weep. Needed to hear this right now.
