Starry Night of the Great Fire
by Derek Geiger
Chattel ride a ferrous horse
Off to their ash-filled commune
To forge axes for the norse
As they march to Wagner’s tune.
Young and old to showers go,
Lit by Stars and not by Moon
Till the Day the Trumpets blow
News of the sweet, trimphal June.
The Final Seder
by Derek Geiger
A solitary Loon
Watches for the Pink Moon,
The last one, He believes.
September, He receives
The final, bellowed Tune,
Lest it happen in June
As the Song said it would,
And then all will be good.
