O Canada

O Canada

I am so sorry for what is going on

I apologize for a lot of people's actions

to specify, their stupid actions

 

O Canada

Vermont sends its condolences

we are trying hard to make our voices heard above the din

we want you to be separate from the US, too

we can hear each other, but others are deaf to our cries

 

O Canada

do not change

try to fight it

don't let the virus take over

keep sneezing

it'll end eventually

 

O Canada

this fight is not fair

this war is not considered

I give you courage for these hopefully only four years

 

O Canada

I'm so sincerely sorry

this mess needs to be cleaned up

the pom poms are littered everywhere

there are tiny pieces of cardstock under everything

the glitter glue is next to go

 

O Canada

keep pushing

keep fighting

keep defending yourself

help will be on the way soon

  • Wishing upon a satellite

    Darkness

    swallowing up the sunset

    streaks of gold and orange and pink fading to a dark navy blue

    then, finally

    once the sky has been painted over with a seemingly endless coat of black

    the stars come out

  • Fly away, little bird

    You were a little bird once

    a chick

    fluffy and begging for food

    now you're all grown up

    now you're learning to feed yourself

    now your stretching your wings

    practicing your landings and takeoffs

  • Living in the moment

    To live in the moment

    is to really see

    to really feel the world around you

    to live in the moment is to capture the glow of a camper's hair in the sunlight

    to feel connected with the people around you
