A Trio of Poems
Sundin Richards

Temporary Poem

The world
is made

Of steel
and water

Sparks too
and love

I believe
in ammunition

And the kindness
of grain

With the wine
dark sea

A goodly amount
of gunpowder

Solves most
human problems

Except sparks
loaning love

The wheat’s
kindness

And the darkness
of the sea
