A Rose is A Rose is A Rose

​A skunk sniffs tulips
trying to understand why
no one ever sniffs him.

The Garden

​I visit my friends in the garden –
sexy, purple eggplants,
corn stalks six feet tall.
tomatoes bursting with ripeness
on the staked vine
green peppers, hanging like silent bells,
zucchini, gargantuan and green,
lettuce, delicate as lace,
baby peas hiding in blankets of pods,
waiting to be unzipped.

Awaiting Amaryllis

By Judith Trustone
She’s a big tease
standing tall and
top heavy and full-breasted
on a plump green stalk,
luscious in her abundance,
determined against weary winter sun
while other plants fade into bleakness.
 
Promises of powerful petals peek
seductively from suggestions of
blossoms that are beginning
the sudden surprise of
overnight explosions
into brilliant bursts,
bringing flowers of
fire and passion to
dismal days,
reminding us
to be patient for
the return of Persephone.

The Dance of The Moonflowers at The Strath Haven Condominiums

​Slender throats the promise of green,
verdant, velvet, voluptuous,
turgid buds bordering on bursting,
pretending not to notice each other
in neighboring balcony gardens.
 
Baptized by torrential showers,
gently nurtured to fullness at the call
of Grandmother Moon, her silver
shimmering sounding the call for
orgasms of openings trumpeting
the presence of delicate, delicious
fragrances that stir the soul to
remembering, soothing spirits sore
from planetary imbalance.
 
The delicate white flowers,
living only for a day, guide us
back into ourselves for a
nanosecond of rare stillness.

Prisons or Schools. Conspiracy?

3/20/2021

By Judith Trustone
How is it in the land of the free
And home of the brave America chooses 
To spend $47,000 a year to incarcerate someone 
And less than $12,000 a year to educate a child?

Injustice

By Judith Trustone
No trials by jury or extenuating circumstances
in this America. 
No safe schools, strong families
or even clean air, water and food
for the Children of Poverty, 
doomed at birth by the 
​school to prison pipeline.

Judges

By Judith Trustone
Never having been in prison, the judge sits on the bench, 
a political product whose job it is
to maintain the status quo no matter the costs 
​to humanity.

Lawyers

By Judith Trustone
Lining their pockets on the 
Tragedies of the poor, 
The hurt people who hurt others, 
The Thrownaway People existing 
off the radar in the nightmare of 
Shadow America while those 
who are supposed to defend them drive around 
in Beemers and Mercedes, grabbing all they can 
​of the American Dream

Politicians

By Judith Trustone
On a planet consumed by toxic masculinity, 
politicians' hunger for power
makes them act en masse 
to lock up and throw away the keys for 
poor people who probably never voted. 
None, including judges and lawyers, 
Have ever spent even on day in the 
​House of Corrections.

Sex Police

By Judith Trustone
Scrutinizing necklines, 
fretting over hemlines, 
the prison visiting room Sex Police 
pounce on any signs of heterosexuality 
while totally ignoring homosexuality 
and rape.
