Buddhist prayers fly like cardinals and finches above a white rail square boxes hold orange mums flagging down the yellow sun the morning begins seated on the back porch with tea the cat's in my lap the chair next to me empty as are the springs flower beds missing only you a long lost part ever missed an empty cushion a single china teacup one lonely pair of old shoes
