Tuesday Night at The Shelter

Lea puts down her meager
belongings next to a cot
& looks ‘round at the others
seeking a warming lifeline.

She gets needed food & sleep
under protective eyes of
station staff—some just a few
paydays from needing cots too.

A #SolSeed Joint #Bountiful

Invitation

We practice #jovial
traditions and consume:
but who do we invite
to our illustrious table?
Our #bountiful spread?
the lonely neighbor, the lost soul
anyone hunger has found?

Rust red sunset comes
Early; trees, bare leaved, allow
Sap to rest awhile

Log burned to ash
Hollowed, but maintains it's shape
Touch and it crumbles
