da William Michaelian: 'ALMANAC' [Thursday, November 3, 2011/ RECENTLY BANNED LITERARURE]

[WHILE DYNASTIES PASS-GC]

Yesterday afternoon

I put our garden space to bed.

One rake, one shovel, and half a yard

of damp, composted dairy manure.

Sweat on my neck and arms,

back, chest, legs, brow.

Leaves from the neighbor’s dogwood tree

in my hair and beard.

Today, I am ready for anything.

Even the death

of fear.
