sun abandons us
again, fading out on another 68-degree december day in northern kansas how bout this weather i’m warm & malleable both my coats are drying nicely sunset: time to re-lax: no thin ice here no time to think about what’s happening around the azov sea; no time to record the ____est ____ on record; or the missing citizens of little haines, alaska crepuscularity dims attention, so in the after- glow of such a day no wildfire smoke like ventura county has; no deforested areas larger than spain; they said we were in for a dry, warm winter & so far it is -- no snow days no inundations, no mudslides like n.sumatra, like s. thailand, s.iran, no drought, no water shortage like zimbabwe, like namibia, no “trending” — can’t be asked -- no pledges of net zero anything just a vaguely mauvey backlighting of boughs

I'm a writer & teacher in Lawrence, Kansas who actually believes the scientists. I wrote a book of poems called Of Some Sky that seems to have something to do with all this. |
