SOLSTICE 2024

Posted on December 22, 2024 by | 2 Comments 

Last year’s fine hair,
dry and hollow-stemmed
screens renewed green

sheltered in rocks
that once were one
mind, one set of eyes

to record the wild cycle
of new roots from old
seeds of life — hope

and grace apart
from the rubble 
of mankind.

    I especially like the last three lines.

    Will you and Robbin be at NCPG? I plan to go.

      We planned on going, but my bad knee keeps my circles smaller. I feel fine, but a little bit like a pizza where every Dr. wants a slice. Maybe next year.
