The New Prophecy (part three)
When seven knives are in the sink
the coffee mug will fill with dark roast,
and maybe turn a caramel color.
Twenty-seven days will come
before the moon becomes a new moon
disappearing in red skies.
Then the Bears will maul the Lions.
Venus and Serena Williams
will become top-seeded players.
And on the Saturday before
vacation, Bob will barbeque.
His oldest will drink a Mountain Dew.
