Here’s what I can do for him
x
With what did she wash
Anoint
The feet of Jesus?
The story says perfume
And she used her hair
We think to mean
Devotion
x
God was there
God is here
The preacher says it’s so
I agree with the preacher
About this

Then I use books and glasses
I can read the variations
x
I can keep these in my heart
Except for this

Venezuela
Who knew
Who pays attention
Largest oil reserve in (within)
The world, and all of it these
Days for less than naught
Oil prices are low, and leaders
Of oil-supply can’t cooperate
So while I pay less to fill my
Car’s tank with gasoline for
Which (I’m sorry) I’m grateful
Those who live in another
Part of America are starved
Out of sugar and flour for
The day and even toilet paper
We can laugh for what we
Throw over trees, which only
Makes a nervous joke out
Of excess
It’s complex, for I need
Cheaper fuel for the car—I
Need cheaper for everything,
Such is the life of the older
And disabled and, at best,
Partially employed
But, generally, I can get sugar
When I need it, and the other
Things
I have access to help
And I am not a nation living
Not Venezuela
Without
Many Waters
The ocean’s acidic
Ruining its own reefs
Shipwrecks in the Gulf
Of Mexico merge with
Oil remains from spills
Creating new corrosion
In waves
This is global occurrence
We are mostly water,
After all
Hanukkah Unto the Earth
(on the first full day of
Hanukkah, my time)
Hanukkah means to dedicate
The miracle was that the Temple
Could be dedicated, repaired of
Damage in the holy place, though
Still a vital need of oil for light
No oil found, then only in a
Small amount—and yet the
Temple space was sanctified
Because the light burned bright
For days, well beyond
The oil’s given time
Who doesn’t need light and
Miracle? We all need
To celebrate these, don’t we
