The tree we cut
and carried
into our home

the one
we shackled
then
trimmed

sang to
then
toasted

now lies
in the gutter

her
hooks
and tinsel
riffling on the wind

there is no place
quite like the other

each valley
each plain
each mountain
each plateau

each
with its own
land forms
life forms
weather
and light

encased in a shared
halo of air

we are binding this earth in asphalt.

binding
and branding
we block the night sky
with our signs.

from
above
we look
like fire

soon
no amount
of insecticide
will help

I am pleased to announce Mr. Hussein has agreed to comprehensive oversight by the United Nations and disarmament (if needed). This will allow us to to focus on addressing terror worldwide.   It can also move us closer to enduring positive peace.

this patch of earth
it is as good as any-
the day touches all
