Marches are Peaceful
Except for the bad element
They watch the world burn
Airplanes fly over
Soldiers march along the street
The diceocho
######
The ground is shaking
But I don’t feel anything
Engrossed in my work
######
I light a candle
An offering for loved ones
To show that I care
######
I lit the candles
An offering to the gods
To help whom I love

Seven Months ago

Clogged with green strands of algae
Clearing it won’t last
Rain came here last week
It cleaned the air up nicely
The snow was so close
