On Missing my Thirty-six Year Old Daughter
Where’s Quenby?
A Poem For Two voices
Where’s Quenby?
She’s fine.
Lost on-line?
She’s fine.
Still mine?
All her own.
Gone on quest?
She’ll find.
Out to dine?
Food’s fine.
Sipping wine?
Buzz’s fine.
Whining time?
Seizing time;
Shake it up
And grab it time.
I am here.
She is there.
We are everywhere.
Connected
Anyway.
Don’t fret.
Go get
Her cell message.
Eat it up.
And
Wait some more.
