Sails doused and stowed, the anchor set in muddy bottom
Reclining crew rest tired feet up on the transom
Raised glasses clink as rose red sun’s descent is toasted
Day’s tales regaled, awash in evening’s pastel palette

Compelling purposes

When parting as when meeting
It speeds perversely to farewells
And crawls when wanted fleeting

Flesh takes reluctant leave of ground
Bones resist the turbined tug

Cold winds advance
Sweeping out the insect feast
Of one mind, birds lift from lakes and trees
Rising like a wintry yeast

GRANTMAKER:
There’s a dire problem in the world
We’re determined to delete
If you’ve set your hat to end it too
Perhaps then we should meet
WELCOME!
