For: Constance La France
Contest: Tributes to Carolyn
she had a gift, a gleam
her poetry that scanned like autobiography
measured verses that re-made her life
reborn
in experiences with a fuchsia sheen
a lamp that sometimes shifted in its blue light
sometimes to quilted hues
her day to day hopes of recovery
when survival was everything
a wish, communal, that everything would turn out alright
but something cellular, inside, worked against her
sometimes death evades comprehension
we can't interrogate it
but the camera swings away till it finds her words
that are a testimony of someone
shimmering
a poet who flourished in our world
because of what we all share
a life that's not small
it lingers
in words
that matter, that stand
and bring you to a standstill
