Some Days

Some Days, seemingly all the days


There is perfection in the grass

golden light vanishing into blue

pale sky 

touch of wind

no hint of humans

no fences

nor power lines

there are distant cities

somewhere people fighting someone’s war

a boy secreting his father’s shot gun

because it is there

some other child’s parents will cry out

“When will it ever end?”

behind another hill

a solitary woman prepares herbs

wolves find solace together 

black widow spider from last year

makes herself at home on my porch

somehow we are safe together
