Poem

Overnight rain (aka Pending storm)

               

Pre-Election

Glitter on the patio
silty gold washed from a red tile roof
sticks to terracotta squares
already stained from fallen fig juice.
With stiff black bristles, sweep sweep back forth
to make a small mound, tempting to the dog,
into a dustpan shiny-as a holiday platter.
Disaster averted, two and four feet cheated,
no tell-tale signs on the impulsive purchase of a white area rug,
freshly shampooed.
Glitter shimmer shakes the leaves, coats neon green jade plants,
swims in a bird bath, on the heads of pottery frogs on the short wall.
Nothing changes but the weather, I groan, mouthing an old cliché,
and consider one more:
Older than the hills.
I fell for Be the Change and Si se Puede back then.
It’s the day before the day all votes will be collected,
like hopeful blue glitter, to rain down
while I dream, not hearing the dark rain outside.

Susan is in conversation with guest David Schmidt who talks about tha mysterious area not too far from where you, YES YOU, live–Proctor Valley. David will tell you that not every city is lucky enough to have its own monster; Chula Vista, meanwhile, has the distinct honor of being home to a unique legendary creature: the “Proctor Valley Monster.” The rural wilderness east of town has inspired a broad range of haunting, supernatural legends, told by several generations of Chula Vista residents. This Halloween season, throughout September and October, various professional storytellers have been performing these eerie, mysterious tales.

As a wrap-up to Halloween, The Electric Picnic repeats Susan’s conversation with David and his haunting stories.
