Solitaire — 2022.04.08-10

A solitaire calls:
“that’s a wrap!”
no stage fright afoot.

Nobody‘s fool
fearlessly facing
its laden plate

Nervous sweat falls as
the mourning do,
their grief feeds the root.

Fighting back
the impulse to wilt
at this state

Thriving as the living do
Surviving as we fight too

Spotted Knapweed — 2022.04.03

Searching for a pulse
to elucidate events
unfolding today.
The charm of this noxious weed
is an opportunity.

Stamp it out,
if we were able;
is it hate,
or is it a wish
for greater control?

Fighting nature:
one hand pounding,
one hand reaping,
one hand clapping . . .
silence will fall
and weeds will thrive —
never perfect,
but running wild
with nature’s plan.
Love will survive.
