Footprints in the Windsm # 2452–Impoverished territory

Footprints in the Windsm # 2452

We get into impoverished territory in conversing and in writing, in story and in singing, when we commit to words too soon. The wind and the song, the notion and the moon, must be allowed to season longer than we wish. Wait. The words will ripen if it is right to do so. Together, we can encourage each other to pause, longer. We don’t need words as much as gathering.

Footprints in the Windsm # 2434–“Safety, Safety”

Footprints in the Windsm # 2434

“Safety, Safety”
the absent children cry
“placing” Mom, Dad,
in the shiny big “home”
promising three squares
and a cot, choice of
bingo, drum cardio, and
bus rides every week.
“Safety, Safety” they cry
as they go,
go away,
to their little lives half
way across the continent.
“Safety, Safety”
till they visit three
times a year. Never
mind they never
knew
Mom’s dream to travel
to visit grand children
and grand canyons. Never
mind Dad at ninety wants
to sky dive, let his body
fly!
“Safety, Safety”
For they know better
for they know nothing
of life alive
yet.
