hot and silent
summer
no sign of even one bird
no dog barks in the distance
i cannot hear any traffic
the sky lacks clouds
i stop walking
and stand perfectly still
my breath
my heartbeat
nothing more in all of the universe
-----
Heavy is the shadow, heavy is the sunset.
Long thoughts that weigh heavy on the soul,
Like old books holding down loose papers on a windy day,
Like old men holding down the young
To 'teach them their place,'
Like the rich holding down the poor.
The sun goes down so slowly.
Tell me, how much grace will I need to get through this life?
-----
May we cease taking from creation more than we put in.
-----
well after dark with no moon yet
and I’m taking my doggo outside
when from somewhere close
in the darkness of the pine trees
an owl hoots no doubt saying hello
so I answer “yes friend
we are indeed in this together”

Anything that can be lost was never truly ours, anything that we cling to only imprisons us.

There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people.
