Facing May Without My Fellow Poets

Today, somehow I knew

A cloud has rolled in
Its teeth like bones that landed wrong

There is a WAR going on

The wind howls
In a brazen blizzard

Waves approaching

Unfocused
Adrift

Reality of this world’s daily strife
Let me go!
Take this burden

Shut the drapes
Pull down the shades

Fading in the rearview are the dusty roads

Joy lives in the noticing

-Kim Johnson
