The King of All

He gathers strength in the morning

For his wild parade by day

The masses sing in warning

So the Cold Things may hide away

 

All make way for his daily show;

The Earth lays forth her fortunes 

The soldierous bees emerge to chant

And they tend kindly to the new blooms

 

When fires dance, their imitation

Is small and weak in comparison

He waves his parade, nation by nation

The King of all, the Sun.

    Pikeville, Kentucky was small, but Zach and Ben were smaller. Bullets on bikes, zipping around, everywhere at once. Always there for dinner, but gone before the first dish made it into the sink.

  • My Mother: The Earth

    I was born in the morning

    when the wind's gentle hands

    would fly past me- laughing

    should we run through the land

     

    I was born as the birds were

    under the eaves

    of a soothing huckleberry
