Poems
Jul 2021
Weltschmerz
I the lonely meadowlark
Perched upon the thistle
Waiting the sickled mower to pass
I the cracked egg
Fetal heart slowing, slowing
Death before the hatchling birth
I the hare crouchant
Scarce aware the shadow’s dive
Screeching beneath the talons
I the wind-torn tree
Branches scattered, bleeding sap
Beetles explore the shredded bark
I the fawn uncertain
Edging the splattered highway
Mother shattered in the lane
Vicissitudes of life
