Timely Morsel: The News

Written April 26-27, 2025

Kindling. When dry, waiting
to be caught. Sometimes yes,
sometimes no. Fierce wind rattling
the brittle cage of leaves. 

But also the squelch and rot 
of stagnant moisture. Many 
become one. This leaf and that leaf,
this stem and that flower. Unmade
in soft slip. 

The news is
all kinds of things happen
after the end.
