Bounders drawing lines,
Last days lowered like a boom—
Chalk of rising moon.

Weird climate change deniers,
. . . Too stupid to live.

Before lightning strike—
White smoke and roll of thunder,
. . . Heron in the night.

Wingless beneath earth.

Just as sun presents . . .
Time saunters on the cool pond,
. . . Gifts of dreamy swans.

Set free in meadow . . .
From her palms a butterfly,
Then— my heart captured.

Will our love grow strong,
As our bodies curl, asking,
. . . To dream great rivers.

Cradled sun is winter rapt,
Life waiting to spring.

Red snake house republican,

Beach walking alone.
Never, short as Donegal strands,
Endless— without her.

To sully music, poetry,
As it falls from sky?

Neocon orders his drink—
Saluting *****.
