Scattered Wind Blown Poems

i)

evil spilling down

through a sieve of fools

splattering toxic nonsense

respond with better words, blessing, 

midnight prayers, truth steeped in love. 

ii) 

poet laureate's laurels

scattered spinning in the wind

down the alley

past the overflowing dumpster

and open kitchen doors

iii) 

not much call these days 

for a claw hammer banjo master

folk songs under fall maple trees

iv)

tobacco, or an offering tug

from a plastic whiskey bottle

a song, a poem

all medicine
