This time

By Doug Sylver

This is when the Quileute tribe
calls getting to be the time
of no more berries.

Earlier sooner this time than ever.
It has been prophesied by others
that it will last for a time 

times and half a time.
Which time, which times
which half a time is this?

What happens after it has gotten to be the time
and the times of no more berries?
And then, for half a time

when no one can taste the memories
or recall the many times of berries?
