Now there you go. A political poem that works. Reminds me of the "We're just fine" meme. The irrealism of the moment has been around so long that we risk becoming blind to it. We need such words to see by.
Sent chills down my spine. We are watching it happen and frozen in place, waiting for someone else to do something. Thank you for capturing this moment so powerfully.
Scarwwy. Buckle up, people.
as towering wave
as wildfires
as Fatima sun
Such a powerful and beautiful opening.

The center isn't holding.
Very dark, but reflective of our current situation. POWERFUL!
heavy, fatalistic, dark. Quite the poem!
Envisioned, anticipated, felt, written so well.
Powerfully written!
I remember writing such things in the late 1960's - and here we go again.
We again hold our pens with clenched fists.
Dark some of you readers think. The poem only reflects what can be seen by the light dimming from our democracy.
But you won’t hear it on Fox News. They’ll be chattering about birthdays and parades.
So reflective of this moment we’re in and where we’re headed.

Well done, X. P.
