Annika
wanna ka
Oliver pie.
Emily
family
wonders why.
Owen Pop
swings a mop,
mint and dye.
Nana Jeanne’s
bright red hair
burns flames high!
Donster Man
stirs a pan
of pudding pie!
All for one
One for all
My oh my!

Shadow
shades me in cool,
veils me in jewels,
hushes my fusses,
wraps me away
to end of the day-
nightfall!

I’m apt to adapt
When slapped by an app
That raps and raves
Upon my brave behind:
Adept!
Project!
Accept!

Line
My 3 year old grand-daughter
draws her wind-swept lines
sweeping over paper fibers
airborne.
No fences, enclosures, barriers for her!
ET takes flight
in her hand!
Spirit,,,
Not concrete,
But the breath:
Pranha ,,,
from the Buddha Child!

Owen, my son
Of 36 years
Used to sit on my lap
(for only a second)
When he was twenty.
Safe and home –
Counting on me.
Years later, he
Carried his father
Frail from mesothelioma
(whenever necessary)
Yesterday
He advised me
That his 3 year old daughter
Annika
Would be very upset
If I thought she ate all the chocolates,
Without permission.
She was reassured
Listening to Poppa tell me
Her feelings if I thought her sneaky.
Then today
After enjoying one chocolate,
She deposited the wrapping in my hand.
Evidence that all
Was understood:
The trust-
The certainty-
The affection-
The attention to details!

Birds peck:
Swallow whole!
Guts discern:
Know or throw!
Udders too
Hold or flow!
We perceive:
Own or loan!
Grasp or pass:
Seed or stone!
Listen well:
All guts tell!

Today
when frayed,
I find comfort
in filing
alphabetically.
Texting
has changed
from letters to code…
u know?
We r
zooming by
frazzling words
to burnt signs:
🙂
Gone is
the crescendo
in the middle-
Mmmmmmmmm?
How I love my
ABC’s,
initials,
and the finality of
XY&Z!
