Everything We Drink

heron chooses the willow end of the pond

good times ripple around the canoe

cattail currency paying off the red-winged blackbirds

rights of passage the thorn bush draws blood

an acorn cap surrounded by moss

envisioning the GOP healthcare plan don't you dare get sick

polluted rivers everything we drink becomes part of us

torn jeans and patches of blue unraveling

blinded by rows of white grave markers

blood red stones sometimes the road fills my shoes

too soon to bloom the magnolias slip into global warming

wake-up call the rocks are alive with garter snakes

hardscrabble landscape I'm drawn in by desolation

bricks in disarray one more dream that never happened

president's day there's nothing to celebrate

false spring the real fake news happened in bowling green and sweden
