We look for good omens
as though these omens
will be part of the new year.
At the farmer’s market
Japanese mushroom grower
sold spectacular Oyster mushrooms.
He said they’re good luck
so I bought a big bag.
Bridget Everett, a favorite,
said Happy New Year to us all
with Andy and Anderson last night.
Today there’s some sun.
Israel is on a break.
We’ll meet friends for dinner
to toast hope, and friendship,
and good books, and love.
Poets who come bearing joy and hope.
You and your poetry are a good omen. ❤️
