Six Takes on ‘News’
naked in the grass
we lay until the news came—
runaway blue kite
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
I’ve known no sorrow
worthy of being printed
in the morning news.
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
sweetening the air
news of the old man’s demise
no more cruelties
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
the end of winter—
good news to eager sowers
waiting with fresh seeds
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
Even the roadblocks
can’t keep news from travelling
village to village.
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
In moments like these
no one cares about the news—
a fresh grizzly track.
