Late night writing here in Olympia,
Listening to rain & sirens,
Washing over the cold cityscape,*
Washing over the cold cityscape,*
Taking fear & sadness,
& laying it at the feet,
Of the medicine Buddha…
Of the medicine Buddha…
*
The death toll in my home state,
Was 75 yesterday, 78 today,
The Angel of death walks in distant Detroit…
*
Henry Ford Macomb Hospital’s ICU at capacity,
My long time hometown Muse texts:
Im alive that is all you need to know.

I’m reading Ocean Vuong,
Drinking more coffee, vibin’:

We live in an ancient world:
Look at it.
Look at it.
