Gabrielle in Boston

Father Art takes calls day and night:
doctors us

Father Don plugs in to search:
our GPS

Father Michael measures minutes:
for healthy cats

Treated them to lunch:
food for their souls

from bones to soul
from here to there;
and then to everywhere

from laps, to chests,
to shoulder perches,
to memory recall

from comfort wrap
a tender stroke
to clutching at the wind

it’s not the food
or litter box
or cushions in the sky

what cat needs most:
belonging
midst angelic feline kin

he needs to pray
in spirit now
and praise his Q and M.

Chicken Soup

there's something about those noodles... being bigger than the veggies

there’s something about those noodles…
being bigger than the veggies

Walking home from school for lunch
Satisfying!
Holding hands with siblings all the way
Satisfying!
Finding the table set for 5
Satisfying!
Spooning in the steamy brew
Warmly coating my belly!
Home-loved-constant-care!
Completely belonging!

The Truth Of Me

Uproarious Twirling Jeanne

Uproarious Twirling Jeanne

A rush of words
determined gait
folds and folds of fun.

A blush of red
hair and cheeks
firecracker peaks.

Links to light
light to white
stars in galaxies.

Roots to buds
footnotes tell
kin and kith.

Truth be told
new each day
grace- it prunes&grows.

prunes&grows
sees&knows
grabs&throws.

Lie In The Sky

white lies in the clouds
too far to be known
too foggy to be seen
misty mis-truths…

half truths in the sky
flitting by
skirting truth
cover-ups…

exaggerations far above
exalted views
blown up sights
magnified…

wiley protests
mis-directions
mis-adventures
wild tricks…

lies in the sky!

Itch! Itch!

gummies never shake their fists
march away
chant defiance
wrestle others

gummies stand at attention
await orders
acquiesce
domino effect

gummies are flexible in your teeth
slide down throat
swim in saliva
soothe your tummy

gum your gummies!
celebrate!

I didn’t ask for this…

I thank you…
I thank you for…
I thank you for this…
I thank you for this gift…
