Bone grit
explodes into
a thousand ripples,
welcoming home
her borrowed
physicality.

mother’s day gossip

Poor Joan –
she never married.
And Leslie
never had children.
And wasn’t it a shame
about Marla?
Too bad –
she was such a pretty girl…
I wish I had an angel friend

I wish I had an angel friend
to watch over your tiny travels –
to walk with you through wander worlds
of daisy, stream, and meadow.
I wish to have an angel friend
when it becomes your time
to go exploring on your own
to catch you if too high you climb
above this grownup world of pace
too fast to see my child’s face.

that little boy
born to a dirtbag
who was born to a dirtbag
who was once a little boy
who did not ask to be born…

the air rushes in
bringing total consciousness
