the dryads huddle near the roots
casting powerless spells
uncertain of their future
hands too busy wringing
to apply pressure to the wound
an owl observes, perched
perilously on a limb rotting from the top down
anxious to help
but unwilling to attack the serpent
winding its way to the crown

spineless, soulless sycophants
lurk, clinging to the shadowy branch
hissing and clicking, licking lips
peering through gnarled fingers
at the body politic that lays wretched
bleeding on the forest floor

thereโs a madman in the woods
with an electric saw

Change is a bitch

Look for the helpers
Be your own light
Be thoughtful, be fierce
Be ready to fight
Itโs crazy, I know
Wonkas wild boat ride
Designed to disturb
Resist the urge to hide
Towers fall
Shit, Iโve knocked a few down
Empires fade
And so will this clown

I Could Just Spit
Truth to power
Power to truth
Is this a turkey neck
Or an elephantโs tooth?
Itโs murky, itโs rank
How are we here?
Oh yeah, I remember,
He REALLY likes beer
Hold fast to whatโs right
You know the way
Deception withers
In the glow of day

Friday, March 13, 2020-Day 1 of COVID lockdown a large tree fell in my yard narrowly avoiding damage. It was surreal and ominous and inspired this poem. It turns out the โsmoke in the summer hillsโ this poem foretold would be a family tragedy.

Iโm no stranger to grief. These past 2 weeks are reminiscent of what I experienced in the aftermath of losing my mom and sister to DV in 2020. Here is a snap of my personal grief journey. Will apply lessons learned to this new grief journey weโre all collectively on.
