Wait a moment and leave off
the day's howling need.
Reconfigure history to equal
the events as they transpired. No,
the children won't mind. They
will swallow whole whatever
you tell them to swallow.

Wishing we could change the past
or make a mark on the future, is like
telling a dog to talk or seeing what
is going on beyond the graystones.

Hope is a good name for a girl. Take
a stroll, examine the firmament, star
and land, then go home. It is the same
sky, the same dirt.
