So Much Sorrow


 So Much Sorrow

that doesn't stop coming
Like the parched landscape
in autumn
Or skinny deer
who wander in search of acorns
in a lead
mast year
Or tree swallows' fruitless
flights
to gather insects
in a drizzling cold
April

Like wilted September spicebushes
who wait for rain
perhaps
someday
showers will fall
and we
will be revived
once again
