Deception of Wisdom


The shifting perspective of age
offers the deception of wisdom.

But years are not the source of insight
and wisdom worth its salt
doesn't come from growing old.

Inclemency

Nothing’s sacred 
anymore.
Yesterday 
the peaches froze.

In the backyard birdbath
Starvelings stoked on icicles.

Perhaps 
before a glacial thaw,
What’s moist 
must baste the stumps.

There’s little poetry 
can do
To comb velvet from pelts of fur.
