We Walk

I'm new
in the yoga class
the instructor
asked me
to say some things
about upcoming
peace walk
thru Maine

endless war
addiction to
military production
spiritual nature
Buddhist monk
sings old
Negro spirituals
deep bass voice
many singers
many cooks
many friends
blisters
joy
beautiful mountains
lakes
color on trees
crisp air

Many waves
thumbs up
honks
few downward
thumbs

keep us
in your heart
we walk
with determination
with outrage
with love
with hope
for collective
sanity
and action

we walk
