I settle near the Camellia
as good fortune
surrounds me.
I wonder
how does luck grow
leisurely around me?
I can't recall pushing
a lucky seed into moist dirt
of a weathered slip ***
Many friends and siblings feel
battle fallout as Zeus and Hades
hurl bolts of catastrophe at them.
Life is unfair.
Meek brothers and sisters will you
inherit the earth or misfortune?
Mishap, misadventure and calamity
do you lurk around the next bend
of my fair weather journey?

Mishap, misadventure and calamity
