Biological Poem

Biological Poem went up on Vinyl Prose and Poetry today.

I wrote this poem almost two years ago exactly. In many ways it is a Sonoma County poem, & it was written the week before the 2017 fires. Will it always feel like the world is about to end-

Fire and wind season is here again, with PG&E shutting off power in huge portions of the bay area, in a kind of odd attempt to prevent that kind of destruction.

So much has changed in two years, & with such a rapidity, that it really feels like time travel to read this poem.
