In those years
when we are lulled
by the hint
of what will be
no longer of
what can be
we must be reminded
to be those things
of everyday life
tamping the queasiness
no longer to ferment
those whispers
farming them into
something where
anger is unavoidable
Remove the mask
allow the god-seed
to take root
requited
in your 120th year
.

Author’s Note:
Today is Day Four of Na/GloPoWriMo. I missed writing my poem yesterday, but I did do my cards. So today I combined my writing with Day Three.
My words: queasy, lull, ferment, requited
Today’s prompt: I used a photo of mine instead of the suggested @SpaceLiminalBot.
These are my cards being held in a sweet little origami box my hubby made for me.
