"How to Keep Your Heart Open in Hell" —Ram Dass
How to Keep Your Heart Open in Hell —Ram Dass
cluster bombs lobbed—
democracy fractured
85 degrees, Sonoma County
in March weeks, no rain
obvious, this changing climate
cruelty and rudeness unleashed
Pandora threw up her hands
left us to stew
boxed in our own undoing
our clearest assignment
DON’T GIVE IN
be endlessly kind, even
when standing your ground
