Last fire of winter, first fire of summer
Built with dregs of last pickup load of firewood
Smudge the room
With Datura, rosemary, lavender and mint
Throw a pinch of sand from Chaco Canyon
On the coals
When the flames are high
Gently lay the last notebook on the logs
Send prayers up with smoke

Poetry that is part of our everyday living are a strong, persistent comment; I like it when you lay down the notebook and go on living.
Thanks for writing and for doing a great job co-editing this blog.
