The world as I know it is definitely changing. The death of Queen Elizabeth will bring profound shifts to England, and here in the US the ground is altering beneath us, too.
July the 5th 2022
Fog lies outside my windows
and inside my mind.
Last night's firework's display
watched with delight.
But what were we celebrating?
A country stepping backwards
with removal of a basic right
affecting women?
The loosened liberty to clutch
an AR-15 with its specter of death?
The rulings of this Supreme Court
Session hound me like unwanted smog.
No matter how hard I try to see
clearly, it clings to my surroundings
and will not dissipate.
