Eastern winds

Still,
the wind blows
and
still,
the young trees stand,
flexible and bending
in the wind.
The old trees have
weathered this storm
before and can take it.
Funny that we don't all
snap.

Bardsdale turkeys

Fat little men
and women
on the side of the road
arrogant and insolent
let the cars get
too close
cross the road
and come to roost.

The Bardsdale Methodist Church

I.
The Bardsdale Church bells
ring every Sunday
at ten a.m.

Cars park in
orchards and fields
and by the old school.

Basement rummage sale
ten dollar chair
Score!

Ring the bells
it's Sunday.

II.

At Christmas the
bell choir rings
the bells
and the old
bones quiver
and come to life.
Comfortable
incense and
stone-smell.

There's cookies
and punch in the
basement.

Colored
light
warm
glow

Christmas.
