"April" --poem by Peggy Wrenn 


April 2011

spring rains should fall now
and what should be
rich and juicy is dry
crisp tinder
wild fires
already
burning

bears awakening should
find food berries and
salmon but dry
hot conditions
force them
desperate to
eat people

news reports on television
talk of those who don’t believe
in global climate change
don’t think that we all
live on one
planet

words lie like we do
afraid of revealing
who we really are
ancient stories
are re-run like
bad movies

we’ve forgotten how
we were formed in the
moist belly of the mother
yet she receives us back
with worms and microbes
with no judgment
no heaven
no hell

Peggy Wrenn
