congress
excoriates
BP - I water
purple flowers
heat rises

oil spill - june 17 - five line

gulls cry prayers over
Louisiana
congress holds
a hearing

oil spill - june 16 - five line

pelicans
rise first over
dawngold sea
ancient flight path
to extinction

oil spill - june 16 - five line

morning news
we are at war
with the earth
still she spews and
shakes us off

oil spill - june 15 - five line

i muse on
morning glories
future blue
while oil spews
black water

garden - five line

vines twine
sunward
soon will be
blue flowers
i wait
