in St. Paul* — humidity
climbs and storms approach
* The Minnesota state government shut down at midnight, and with it, state parks, camp grounds, highway rest stops, zoos, horse racing tracks, carnival ride inspections, restaurant inspections and a long list of other state-funded agencies just in time for the 4th of July holiday. The legislators and the governor cannot agree on a budget. There is little hope that either side is willing to compromise. Nobody knows how long this will go on. Thousands of state employees have been laid off. Their last day of work was yesterday.

Outside the wind whirls.
Inside my daughter asleep
in her toddler bed.

When will the world be
good enough for our children?
The night crashes rain.
The morning is calm.
A young Oak still holds it’s leaves
strong against winter.
