Shamrock
Come here. I made you to help me with tasks not to malinger about in the fields.
Show me what you have in your metal hand you good for nothing robot.
A four-leaf clover? Why on earth?
It’s for luck master. Just close your eyes and you will be in your perfect life.
Closing my eyes then reopening them, my nothing has changed.
You are living your perfect life now master. You didn’t know that till just now?
Rainbow
All day and all night the storm raged. Leftovers from a hurricane.
Record rainfall. This can’t be real.
The levies were on the brink.
No clearing in site.
Will the rain ever stop?
Our neighbors and us filled sandbags bracing for the worst.
We are warned to pack and leave.
Should we all leave our beloved homes and communities?
What’s that in the sky? Colors?
Is that what I think it is?
Our rainbow. Our saving rainbow.
