May 4, 2025 ‘A Day in the Life’

In the month of May…as the full moon rises over fields of hay, yet unharvested…the air is pink with crabapple. And the dirt, the endless dirt with layers upon layers of rocks…rising as waves.

What will be hounded, thrown into piles or dragged away and buried?

And yet they rise…in the month of May as the full moon settles over the Avenues…B, C, and D at the crossroads of Saint Paul Boulevard and despair…the heart of the Flower City’s sorrow.

And the air, the endless air thick with heated cement and cooking oil and leftovers from the House of Mercy…rising waves.

Who will be hounded, thrown into piles or dragged away with memories buried?

And yet they rise…building a garden or a weapon…in the merry month of May…
