Observation
There is soft
light coming through the windows
Cool air
after an evening of rain
Sparrows chatter
in elms
Kitty looks
out the window and day dreams
A motorcycle
rumbles down Bryant
The news is
filled with tragedies
It is of angry
white-men murdering dozens of people
Terrorism in
Texas and Ohio
It the two
hundred and sixteenth day of the year
Two hundred
and fifty mass-shooting
With no end
in sight
Twenty-nine
dead and dozens hurt
Each shooting
took a matter of seconds
The world
turns, the light in Minnesota is soft the air is cool
Sparrows
chatter in the elms
Kitty
listens and watches the morning traffic on the avenue
