Just perfect! At the 20th annual Outdoor Sculpture Exhibit opening reception today (at Old Frog Pond Farm 🙂) and encountered the sculpture with the haiku next to it 💚

A poem of mine for today ~ Lammas ~
We are made of bread
and light, and love that is the song
of a blackbird to the morning, a bat's wings to the night air.
The moon, a scythe, to reap us, the sun, a child that sails away -
we weave a religion
full of fatherless sons
and immaculate women
that only gods may touch.
We have always made our own kings, and tasting hunger, truth has watched, its crow's eye upon the work
of harvest and plough.
To cut the sheaf, then the earth, these dark sods, rich
as blood, raised, but a promise
even as they harden - of hope perhaps, in a seed or the black tips of a hare's ears, in the secrets of our grandmothers.

A story of mine, "Business or Pleasure" shows up today at literarygarage.com/stories and literarygarage.substack.com It joins others in support of the rollout of an anthology, "Bad Intentions", inspired by Warren Zevon's music. I didn't hit the bullseye, but got close 🎯@literarygarge
