Fast Day 275 September 7 2012 {Labor Day 2012}

Labor Day  2012

The rain will descend,

then comes the drought;

we’ll take up our canoe and carry it

to the garage where it will winter,

but spring follows the snow

and we shall put it into the water again

so we may come and go by the river

and visit the islands,

and all the places

where the wild things are

awaiting us…

The sun bakes the ground,

then come the rain;

we’ll harrow and scythe the gardens again

and leave them to hibernate;

the hibiscus will bloom again

and the deer will eat the hasta down to stems;

we may not return to the river

this time… this future

the sun rising in new horizon,

and you and I have defeated

the alien gods…
