rocky creek
roars down a rock falls
near the broken concrete dam
salamanders lay their eggs among the watercress
that spills out from the spring and where
the farm house stood
a snake’s shed

It’s a-coming.
Wild fires, dying lakes,
landslides, hurricanes,
apocalypse in store
like nothing ever seen before.
It’s a-coming.
Third-generation refugees,
street mob burning effigies,
revolution, civil war
like nothing ever seen before.
It’s a-coming.
Pale-horse rider come,
blistered by the morning sun,
tell about what he can see,
crystal ball of mercury.
It’s a-coming. It’s gonna come.
Jungle slashed and jungle burned,
the monkeys and the painted birds
climb the vines, the limbs and leaves,
the lungs that let the whole world breathe.
It’s a-coming.
All the ones that failed to thrive,
starved out and buried alive,
something evil, something free,
calamity.
It’s gonna come.
Space Race, the old Cold War,
atom bomb was gonna settle the score.
You wait and see. It’s a long time coming
but it’s a-coming. It’s gonna come.
Third-generation refugees,
street mob burning effigies,
revolution, civil war
like nothing ever seen before.
Like nothing ever
seen before.
Richard Pryor,
that lion-hearted man,
was one of my first and is still one
of my best teachers — in more ways than I
have time to recount. Listen to how mentally and
spiritually high he was near the end of his physical body.
Listen to the body of his work and be informed about
the human condition and the path of a sexual abuse
victim, drug addict, acutely intelligent and
deeply soulful human being.
All praise.
