Intentions

may all
intentions
honor
the light
& the dark

There is light in everything

& at the same time, dark.  Not 50-50, perhaps.  Why am I thinking of salt dissolving in soup?  Why am I remembered words removed from a poem?  Yup, light & dark.

Neither light nor dark

The hand was made to hold
neither light nor dark.
Times does that.

And at this time
may there be a few good
persimmons left in the market
and increasing murmurs
of peace.
