The universe is staging
a trillion-photon march on creation
to show us how solidarity’s done
Anywhere that light is
that’s where you’ll find me

Consider that
there is
no God
All birds sing
of their own
volition
Albeit
a sadder tune
There is
no echo
nor refrain
No joyous
hallelujah
A lonely lilt
on empty branch

Politics and greed aside.
Isn’t solving world hunger
merely a logistics problem?

I approximate the distance between two hearts
to be more than the sum of this moment less certain
And the hand that one feels in the night is mere specter,
lugubrious playful phantasmagoria
Morning used to bring hope that perished at midday
midway to evening whispers of vespers
It will sometimes slip away, she said
It will always fade away

Red turns paler pink
The art of dying zinnia
Bids us promised spring

Everyone doesn’t
not matter.

the gladiators took a knee and
threw up power-salutes
a statement for whom?
the wind at lambeau field blows
cold through empty stands
no one came that sunday
liberty has better things
to do

Moonlight in buckets
Reflects hope for better worlds
For you, Celestine
