April 19, 2020: Respite from the Sun

Respite from the Sun

I like these
  Dark, overcast days.
They give me the feeling
  Of being protected
  From that unforgiving sun -
Though I know
  It’s only an illusion:
One well-placed flare
Could reduce us all
   to cinders!
And the paradox is
  That without the sun,
There could  be
   No cover of cloud!
We would be
  Just another piece
    Of rock and ice,
      Wandering through space,
     In search
  Of another
Star.

April 30, 2021: Making My Way

                      Making My Way Warehouse work can be mindless, And the laborers  come and they go. The bosses aren’t known for kindness...
