Breeze for your sail


by Claudia Serea

Tonight, the world is an abandoned lot


enclosed by chain link fences,
and us, trapped,

two helpless birds,


two fish caught in nets,

two knotted napkins.

But I’ll say to you,


Hang on, love,


hang on.

Don’t raise your white flags yet.


Don’t surrender.
I’m sending you


a breeze for your sail,


sweet wind of faith.
I’ll blow a lock of hair


off your pale forehead
and sing to you


from far away.
Don’t give up, mi amor.
Together, we’ll hang on


the wires of the world.
We’ll billow, sway,


and flutter.
Soon, the fence will crumble


and we’ll dance.

Wonder

Michael'simoji's

I wonder who’s kissing him now?
licking his wounds?
cutting his toenails?
caluses?
sweeping his crumbs?
trimming his beard?
manicures?
buying his socks?
laughing at his jokes?
stocking his pantry?
paying Verizon?
buying the gas?
trusting him each day?
understanding?

I wonder.

The new iPhone has this great app as part of the new operating system.

I’m starting to envy my own creations, called my emoji’s.

Here’s an older one:

Stand by for emoji’s of my family to come…

New Phone

51Cw8+lh3eL._SX425_

new purple iPhone 11 bows on stage @Quicksilver Studio

This amazing device photographed my face and recognizes me when I swipe it open.

The little padlock swings open. Wonderful!

The cloud backed up my data in under 10 minutes.

I, on the other hand take much longer to update.

Touches are too sensitive, including swipes. (I’ll have to start swiping Don out of the room…sweeping him in one grand gesture; YOU ARE EXCUSED! lol)

So I’ll tip toe through the tulips

gather my baskets while they wait

hum a tune of dandy wine

and swipe the phone that knows my face

my new dance partner!
