May Sheep Safely Graze?

A poem.
The illustration shows a sheep looking out at a hill that is lit up with bombs.

Illustration by Hokyoung Kim

The electric fence is low,
and the coyotes many
this verdant year,
this jubilee when farmers
change their signs
from demands we
PRAY FOR RAIN
to THANK YOU LORD.

After the Fall

The bough we clasped
while climbing towards
phantasmal blue
has broken—

we lie on concrete,
begging with a
shattered golden bowl.
