Poem

I am sitting in the sun now, letting the rays love me.
And heal me.
It’s a beautiful spring day, and I have called
Everyone I know, and a wrong number
To tell them to get outside.

I have a friendship brigade that a 
Five star general would have been excited about.
They are all women except Joe, and they have only
One thing in common – me.

I’ve formed a posse of women, and we meet
In a variety of restaurants to laugh and tell stories.
Sometimes we meet in my yard around a campfire,
And we call ourselves ‘The Wild Women’.

Elaine has one story that always brings the house
Down, and so does Myra.   I make them both tell these
Famous stories, and we all laugh like polite loons who have
Not heard these great stories sixteen times prior.

About a block away, my nearest neighbor, Vi, sometimes laughs
Aloud after we all laugh.  Vi has dementia, and she’ 82, and
Used to be gobs of fun, not so much now. I am always pleased
When I hear Vi laugh. It means we brought joy in some way
To her day. 

We are so powerful and mighty, my pack.  And we all pretend I am
Not a lone wolf as I graciously allow them to howl with me, all of us knowing; I am the lone wolf.
