Of the lion

Just on the other side of the window,

March winds are banging the hell out

of my house and trees and utilities. 

.

It’s dark so I can only imagine the mayhem.

Usually, I wake to just some fallen branches.

.

They say weather is getting worse,

more severe, just like politics and children

running rampant without any filter. 

Each generation wants to be the one 

that survives the worst but we’re all  just 

spiraling as far from Eden as possible-

just with new vernacular. 

.

The sky is roaring now, deep in the night

and I think of summer storms

and the relief of the after. I can’t imagine 

the warmth or the green right now,

but I know it’s coming again.
