Learn when you lose
seats taken away
sing party blues
campaign disarray

Of the ballot
green the color
democratic terms used
power abused
disillusionment
for a liberal majorty
cut in final hour

Minority it is
after hundred years
majority lost
conventional fears

Ballot in a box
when do you count?
notch for a leader
votes amount
to no change at all
results stay the same
nothing changes on
days of reckoning
on the landscape
where familiar orb of fire
touches an imaginary line
and my day is done,
cast on paper.

minority it is
once in a while
majority is lost
aft elected trial.

one votes
electoral drama revealed
spring clowns
reelected
power runs deep
outside my borders
where I sleep..
who tallies the results
to learn of loss
like a tree's north face
exposed to moss..
majority's cut
in final hour rut.
