Stuart Watkins
not in the deep dark dry desert sands, please
it may take too many blue moons
to circulate in earth’s ever changing changing
toss them into a stream, river, or ocean
free, free to swim with swimming fish
roll with rolling lapping tides
oh, yes, take them on a cruise
toss them overboard on a starlit night
if there is thundering thunder
lightning slashing through the sky
toss them away
never mind
never mind
I will enjoy
I will enjoy
I will thank you
