A Painting and Poem by Janet Mego –
Hurt feelings.
Cancer.
Never knowing
What’s the answer.
Highway 43: rush hour
Politicians: too much power.
Record Heat
Spoiled meat
Tax breaks available to
The Elite
Severe depression
Textbook obsession
Making it on time to
Your next session
Climate change
World War III
Smog, fear, and pestilence
It all comes for free.
So call up some moments
Watch the blackbirds
Sing some colors
Paint some words
Weave a premonition
Crochet a dream
Attach two passions
With only one seam
Pick up the planet
Hold it aloft
It’s not that hard.
In fact, it’s soft.
1. Mix up your batter.
2. Pour it out.
3. Bake.
And when it’s cooled off
Eat your yummy earth cake.
