This morning the power went out for several hours. You never completely understand how something like that can throw your entire day off until you realize hours later that everything you wanted to accomplish hadn’t quite happened. And, then I spent time catching a mouse in the basement….what a day. Yes, I released the mouse outside and then worried about it for a while because that’s who I am. No apologies.
So. Well, writing about revolution for dVerse. Thank you, Merrill. I reverted back to wordplay for this one. Wordplay being built on rhymes. Let’s hope it works.
Solve for Why
In revolution there’s evolution kindred hearts, minds evolving, revolving against devolving resolving to form a more perfect union communion of spirits thoughts, a greater good should exist, persist, not subsist/ could we embrace the case for freedom for all call it life, blithe days trees sway, the Eden garden barren of snakes, harden headaches for strifeless life, a mirage collage of hope Calliope trope of poetic time rhyme cannot undermine recognition of the crime the wailing chime of passing trespassing the bereft for in that last breath-- death--resolves the mournful funeral fife, minding one life. Evolution, revolution, solution.

Losing electrical power does indeed throw off the day. I do all my work on my computer. I once rescued a mouse from our cats and took it outside–so I understand that, too.
This is excellent. Such creative rhymes. I was particularly struck by the “calliope trope. . .” I can imagine this performed– rap style.
I would love to hear this read aloud. The rhythm is incredible, Sasha!
