Colorado Times-Recorder
Denver media progressive Jason Salzman is putting out an in-depth on-line newspaper with Colorado news and op-ed. Here's one poem of mine that just appeared as opinion. For the published version, go HERE
Day After
April Fool's
almost missed
the subtleties of circle fractures
in the poled skin of the snow
As Gerrit Lansing once told us
The Heavenly Tree Grows Downward
"All life long/the dew falls from heaven
... trees climb up from underground waters"
Holding palm up on the unburnt trunk
of a Thunder Trails yellowleg pine
in morning tai chi -- chanting
needles, rootlets, hyphae
News alive again
with Mar-a-lago shenanigans
blowing ill-will like a militia howl
before a Rocky Mountain storm
Not surprised really, Irate, saddened. Right
& left, vicious or vicarious, some furious
li bingeing on outlaw fantasies. We
Americans love our bully pulpits. Our puppets
Yes thank you
