Pilgrimage #21 Redirection

River below as skies burn above
Arizona smoke screen over our sun

Could I but lift this dart of green
and sling it in the direction

of all that burns, adolescents' hearts
Americans in Afghanistan, Iraq
People still ashamed

Could I but redirect the past
with a drenching of sky split open
of green sliding all the way down to drink
