Sturm und Drang

by Jim Benz

Heart's mind, it cannot
be that all
faith errs arbitrarily
outside of you

If so, heirs, only
airs, and every beast
dumb enough to chew
on snakeroot silage

Good write Jim. Have you ever seen the little German art book called Der Sturm? I actually had a copy once.

Indeed. Love the image of chewing on snakeroot silage - and dumb beasts, of course. Thank you.
