ANCIENT FUTURE TIME
07:32
Hillside
In a tribe of junipers.
This is the safe
time, the ancient time.
Only bears and
coyotes up here.
Sunday, bless-ed
Sunday morning.
The noisy threats
abate for a moment,
not exactly out of
respect or reverence,
but tradition and
societal norms will do,
if it momentarily
quiets the violent cacophony.
Safe time.
Ancient time.
Future time.
