Hymn

Beltane follows close on the heels
of Easter and Passover this year
leading us to the Summer Solstice,
preceded by April's full pink moon.
All through these high holy times
and cross-quarter days
through winter, spring, summer, autumn
I have heard a grim hymn.
It is the banshees keening
for our sanctuary cities disappearing,
dark whispers that our democracy is dead.
Yet still, in this abyss
there is breath, beauty, and light.
And petals falling, falling
from the redbud trees.
