Water gathering
most days I wait
through blue and sun
till dusk
or even later
and the rose has faded
to lavender, to gray
some days, the sleet
has started
and the leaves underfoot
are slick with ice
somehow I'm never sorry
and never learn
one night I waited
till the stars were out
dropped the bucket into
sound, only felt the weight
of it filling
and the night full of stars
and the river full of stars
and the bucket full of stars
come morning, the coffee
is also full of stars

Crayon is slacking on the job. I was amazed to find an anti-Bush post with no comments. LOL
Prolly has a lunch meeting. . . .
Shades of moveon.org.
Supprised you did not throw in Pol Pot, Stalin and Idi Amin too.
Must be slacking...
I wonder if he'll get docked for that hour and a half plus.
Also, he needs a thesaurus.
