POEM 322: "Wildfires" by Olusoji Obebe

"there are fires in this world/ that have blotted the skies/ with histories of dark/ fires, that breathe away/ the innocence of buds/ & squeeze happiness dry. "

“A fort that contains infinity now.”

A nostalgic poem where childhood spaces become whole worlds — and memory builds what time can’t erase.

Dusk on the Appomattox river. Purple sky and gold sun disappearing over the horizon are reflected in the water. The Shores are dark, almost black.

Dusk on the Appomattox river. Purple sky and gold sun disappearing over the horizon are reflected in the water. The Shores are dark, almost black.

at dusk, the river

nothing asks
to be remembered

the banks darken
into memory

and the river
becomes

what it always was

wearing
what little light
is left

He is #livid
that no one
listens to him
even his wife
and his children
humour him
but there is
no respect
due his position
but they are smart
to not rock the boat
and wait.

Sheila Templeton
FOR R. S. THOMAS

I hear your bold blackbird, that slow singer,
alone at my desk yet walking with you
through your valleys and hills, that shining
stream bubbling notes of your music
your pure Welsh music. And I am walking
behind my father, born in your time, but
seeded in his own north land, ploughing,
proud to stride behind his pair o horse;
high cheek-boned, hair rain-flattened
the colour of wet barley, speaking the secret
words to his beasts, turning his park
into a sea of order, yes, with your stiff clods
glinting in the wind, gulls and peesie-weeps
skirling encouragement; above him
only a dark yearning sky.
Another enduring ordinary man,
born to till and toil, to win his wars
to wrestle with his burning under those stars.

from unforgettable lands, so of course

I am still immersed in the colors of flowers

A Short Step
By Pat Grieco

It is a short step from liberty to chains, from freedom to oppression,
from cherished rights to imagined wrongs.

Just one judgement, 
just one democratic vote, 
and all that was gained 
may be lost in an instant, 
rights trampled, 
speech denied, 
covenants broken 
with no redress but law 
no longer made or interpreted 
for the common good.

Stability.
Security.
Safety.
All have been 
the watchwords of tyrants 
who have used them
to justify patriotic acts restricting freedoms, 
limiting access, 
denying self-evident truths.

What is done to one 
can be done to all 
and we must be as mindful 
of our neighbors' liberty 
as we are of our own.

Beware the knock on the door, 
it may be for you.

Fear internment, 
for it may yet occur
if your views are not in favor, 
if your thoughts are not pure, 
if you threaten the stability, 
security, 
the safety
of those set above you.

Rights change, 
freedoms die, 
and liberties vanish 
with the well intentioned 
stroke of a pen.

Be watchful.

Be aware.

Be careful,
for it is but a short step 
from liberty to chains.
