JUNIPER TRIBE
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.
