no beads, no prayers

resting suddenly on my shoulder

Remember this, though: Amazon has calculated that poisoning water & making restitution payouts for sickness & even death is CHEAPER than whatever they plan to make on the Data Center.

Maybe they’re gossiping, maybe complaining. Maybe assuring a god somewhere’s watching. Maybe,
but time’s up. A spreadsheet
is waiting for me.

at tea-break,
for reading cherry

The feline nudge
the wraithing whine Signals
it
is coming to sit
on your chest
just when you thought
it was fed
and satisfied

Give me the stubbornness
Of every green shape sprung
From decay, fighting
For its right to heat, to light
