Draped in a flag
he raises his fist
shouts demands death and hatred
tramples whatever falls beneath his feet
and we call him hero.
She asks for her rights
reed in the wind
carrying her babies unaided
holding out her hand
and we call her strident.

There’s a light on the horizon
behind the black poplars
beneath the narrow clouds
that punt along the sky-road
they tell me it’s the sun.
I wish I had seen the chariot
before dusk pulled on the reins of night.

In this rain
the heart is heavy
despite the lightness within
the pain is there
though no bombs fall
and no one is missing
from around this table.
A day besieged
waiting
for something to end.

A hundred crows strut lines on the highest down, replotting murders in morse code.
A crawk forms and they rise, spilled ink across my scrubbed out skies, all at once a storytelling.

Disappointing A Former Student
I’ve shirts older than you,
so no, but thanks
anxieties older too,
at this point
my torso not carbon and zinc but the same anxieties holding hands
and I’ve begun to shrink,
unable to place the star on a Christmas tree
but we can look together at the lights.

Soft day of light falling,
veiled sun, and the river
like a silent sea.
Jackdaws clack the sky
with black wings,
egrets stand white-mirrored,
and we rouse secret deer
in the long grass, the sound
of galloping hooves
fading into the trees
and quiet,
like endings should be.
