Peace postcards 2021


What if the world could wage peace how do we emphasize empathy impeach 
Peace 
Such fine democracy 
Chasing
84,000 Stupas

I want to peace to be like a juicy kiss
I am claiming you
It’s coming together where
Peace is every step
17 miles to Tonasket
There is no map for this
The desert is so bare
Capetown is running out of water
It is but one seed

Nature seduces many to 
Discourse hovers all around us
The echoes of our choices
The worst thing about dyslexia

Peace surrounds you now
The wind blew through
Some shards of Seaglass
Walls of glass cantilever
What lies behind us and what
The still small voice within
Joy finds its way into
Peace

Mostly logging roads, pitted with deep potholes from skidders and semis. My little Hyundai was doing pretty good so I should have given her more credit that the grief as I beat on the dash when she finally plopped into one of the holes and decided she’d gone far enough.  The tires spun in the mud, I tried to rock’er back and forth to no avail. No poetry reading for me I thought. It was still early, barely 6 but dusk was here and of course as I picked up my cellphone from the passenger side floorboard, I saw the “no service” right away.  Now what, it was at least three miles ...
