a biting wind reminds
us, the years-long winter
will continue to loiter
we have to look closely
to detect the green
after the inauguration

U.S. Capitol
National Guard "invited"

Do they know with whom
they share a marble bed?
Will more than bread
be broken amongst them?

The Measure of an Inauguration

Do not look to count the angels
of our nature as they boogaloo
on the head of a pin, stipulate
that they reveal themselves
hovering overhead. Only then
may true numbers be tallied.
