building barriers
protecting the chosen few
will that be enough?

building barriers
protecting the chosen few
will that be enough?

calmness this morning
fallen leaves along the path
tells another tale
a sudden silence
– the washing machine stopping –
sleep returns slowly
sunshine on puddles
an opening in the rain
then the clouds close ranks
given drought like conditions
no one complains about rain
flight of geese at dawn
how to accept not knowing
where we’ll be tonight
