That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history.
Aldous Huxley
I told
My children
To keep their
Eyes peeled
..O.. ..O..
They’ve had
nightmares
For a week
Senyrü: Finnish Focus
nothing teaches you
to look a man in the eye
like Finnish sauna
(eyeline seating doesn’t help matters)
Twilight is bruised
Hot pink stretch marks
Purpling scars…
…the day has endured
Pollution in the air enhances the wide array of colors in sunsets and sunrises.
It’s a daily reminder of the damage we’ve done to our environment.
I scrubbed my boots
with water repellent
Now
I can’t wash my hands
haiku: time keeps dripping
in the silent hours
time drips like a leaky faucet
basin never fills
