halycon day - sitting by the river


For Uncle Don


turkeys have scratched bare the ground all along the creek

eaten every grub, bug, worm or seed

left open ground for any opportunistic weed;

damn that murder lies within the heart

that we mistake it for a friend

take doppelganger on our boat

heedless of our end.
