Delerium?

...crying where are we anyway, and who,and what, and why?

--Barbara Hamby "Delerium"

This is how I feel now

end of June 2018

world swirling around me

constant feeling we've lost

something valuable

despair, hopelessness, civil war?

violence

decisions affecting people

unexpected

civility? surrender? statis?

But little grassroot things

are happening, the brown

field may start showing

sprouts of green. Among the

angst there are voices

assuring us we can't give up,

there is a way. There is hope.

I reaffirm my place in this madness.

Start where I am.

Stand tall.
