the country changes slowly
land holds
& the green
of spring shifting to summer
registers as if for
ever or so
close it doesn’t matter
to eyes far above
turmoil among
the political animals
so intent on ignoring
what the land has to say
means less than
they might think
& more

There is no life that does not rise
melodic from scales of the marvelous.
To which our grief refers.
