Ruffling the feathers
Of your expectations.
Rilke to the left.
The portrait of Alf
The back of my left ear.
What unconscionable theives,
These Time Czars,
Where we live with the scars,
As joy bounces on the crevices.

Grandma Cora Stared Me Down

Was it only yesterday..,I walked the River road

My Dog Cora

Cora was my favourite pet
a black labrador/Doberman dog
