Poetry Month, day 2

A Blessing for a Wedding by Jane Hirschfield
Today when persimmons ripen
Today when fox-kits come out of their den into snow
Today when the spotted egg releases its wren song
...


When Death Comes by Mary Oliver
When death comes
like the hungry bear in autumn;
When death comes and takes all the bright coins from his purse
...

'Fifi, the dangerous fag dog' - John Del Peschio

Fifi, the dangerous fag dog
makes guys nervous,
gay or straight.
She's so femme!
Pink ribboned,
she knows
drag queens' stones
were Stonewall's first stones.
She knows mincing gaits got there.
Fifi, strut,
you feisty bitch,
strut your dangerous rhinestones.
