green branches stretch out across shed roof.honeysuckle seeks for sun.
cat reclines in t fresh foliage
sun shines in cloudless sky
wind is cool.
gaze all day at light and shadows
reflections of reflections
children home from school
ball hurtles over fence
small face peering
there’s a gap
ball, please, ball, please
Hello Jack
Ball again
Hard against the soft greenery
like the bombs must be
falling across the world
falling on the world
we are bombing ourselves in the end
war is suicide
they are us
forgive us our trespasses
but do we have that
firm purpose of amendment
amendment, what in God’s name is that?
How my heart sings
