THE PENDULUM
The pendulum
was slow and heavy,
a dark brooding rusting orange iron weight
in an oversized tie.
It had pushed too far.
Today, November 3rd, 2020,
a nation voted to stop the pushing.
He had gone too far.
Today it will start to fall
the other way. Our nation
will breathe a sigh of relief
by midnight – let’s hope.
And truth will come crashing
into our relationships with one another
on just what happened.
And please God, agita and anxiety
will leave our bodies and our souls –
at least for a needed rest and meanwhile.

Today we remember all those who have
gone before us – saints and sinners – all souls.
Today we remember our mom and dad and
all family members who have gone before us.
Today we remember all those who have nobody
left to remember them – nobody left to pray for them.
Today we remember all those people who died
horrible deaths in war and gas chambers – in violence.
Today we remember babies who never got to be born
and old people who never had people to visit them.
Today we remember all those we hope to meet
and greet when get to the heavenly Kingdom, please God.
gone before us – saints and sinners – all souls.
all family members who have gone before us.
left to remember them – nobody left to pray for them.
horrible deaths in war and gas chambers – in violence.
and old people who never had people to visit them.
and greet when get to the heavenly Kingdom, please God.

ALL
SAINTS DAY
to those who came to our rescue?
How many times have we thought that
of those who bring barrels of sweetness?
about a neighbor who is always so giving?
of another who is always so forgiving?
a family member who is always good news?
