On the porch Jim was waver at the passing of cars Each wave he did savor Friends all thought him from Mars Friends all told him don't wave "You don't know who's in car. They could be serial killers and now they know where you are." In the winter Jim vanished Every wind left the sky He wasn't waving hello to all He was waving goodbye
Accountability by William Stafford Cold nights outside the taverns in Wyoming pickups and big semis lounge idling, letting their haunches twitch now and then in gusts of powder snow, their owners inside for hours, forgetting as well as they can the miles, the circling plains, the still town that connects to nothing but cold and space and a few stray ribbons of pavement, icy guides to nothing but bigger towns and other taverns that glitter and wait: Denver, Cheyenne. Hibernating in the library of the school on the hill a few pieces by Thomas Aquinas or Saint Teresa and the fragmentary explorations of people like Alfred North Whitehead crouch and wait amid research folders on energy and military recruitment posters glimpsed by the hard stars. The school bus by the door, a yellow mound, clangs open and shut as the wind finds a loose door and worries it all night, letting the hollow students count off and break up and blow away over the frozen ground copyright 1998 William Stafford

Poem by Joseph Fasano What if, after years of trial, a love should come and lay a hand upon you and say, this late, your life is not a crime
James Tate 1943- 2015 Jesus got up one day a little later than usual. He had been dreaming so deep there was nothing left in his head. What was it? A nightmare, dead bodies walking all around him, eyes rolled back, skin falling off. But he wasn't afraid of that. It was a beautiful day. How 'bout some coffee? Don't mind if I do. Take a little ride on my donkey, I love that donkey. Hell, I love everybody.

Statement from Governor Josh Stein on Border Patrol in North Carolina “Public safety is the top priority for all of us in government – and that means fighting crime, not stoking fear or causing division. We should all focus on arresting violent criminals and drug traffickers. Unfortunately, that’s not always what we have seen with ICE and Border Patrol Agents in Chicago and elsewhere around the country. The vast majority of people they have detained have no criminal convictions, and some are American citizens. “I want to encourage North Carolinians to remember our values. We follow the law. We remain peaceful. We do not allow ourselves to be provoked. We stand with our neighbors. And when we see injustice, we bear witness. If you see any inappropriate behavior, use your phones to record and notify local law enforcement, who will continue to keep our communities safe long after these federal agents leave. That’s the North Carolina way. “As this situation develops, I will continue to stay in touch with local and state officials to keep people safe, respect the rule of law, and support our people.”

Sibyl by W.S, Merwin Your whole age sits between what you hear and what you write when you think you're getting younger it's the voice coming closer but only to you so much of your words is the words once they've come out of the ground and you've written them down on petals if it's spring The same wind that tells you everything at once unstitches your memory you try to write faster than the thread is pulled you write straight onto the air if it's summer with your empty needle straight onto a face if there's light enough straight onto hands if it's autumn
