Guardian Angel of BUTTERFLIES
so dainty
so superfluous
so vulnerable
so whispy
no “survival of the fittest†apparent here
but in their superfluous-ness, so crucial
for we need some gentleness, some fragile and dainty and beautiful entity to remind us that power is not the end-all,
and we need some gentleness, some fragile and dainty and beautiful entity to calm our collective souls
and we need beauty and grace— for their own sake
the Goddess of Cosmic Fulfillment has her
prerogatives, as well

Guardian Angel of IRON MILL WORKERS
we work
long, long hours
in harsh conditions and often-extreme heat
in considerable danger
we just want to provide for our families
we give it our best
just like our fathers before us did
day after day
year after year
hoping that we do not see that dreaded pink slip
pass me that beer, will ya’

tactical
measured
analytical
