the
sap stopped running long ago
for
every hollowed-out maple
there
should be a wake
the
body will crack and then sing a dirge
this
is not a repeat of some fire and brimstone
in
the scriptures of the quarantine
there
is a path less traveled
but
first you must give up your propriety
when
stock trading resumes on monday
tell
the pit bosses that there is
no
safe social distance
only
the final bell might save you
sometime
after 5pm the news of the day
will
get wrapped for cosmic distribution
the
internet will scream into the silence
tv
anchors will crawl back into their personal caves
a
cardinal finds a cold wire in time for spring fever
the
sun opens for the canopy
a
ray of light
can
lead to a thousand footsteps
