Bad will come
Into your life,...

Grandma - Mar 13Memories lost within a frozen mist
And dangling in the static atmosphere
Of muddled recollection of things dear
Haunt the backwoods of the years she has missed.
Through foggy glances, blurred thoughts that persist

Echoes in the Attic
In the attic of memories, where shadows dance and play
A trunk overflowing with whispers, of yesterday
Forgotten fragrances waft, like wisps of smoke and sighs

A faded photograph,...

God’s Carousel
she told me she wanted her flowers
while she was still alive and well
her children collected bouquets, offerings
meant for her finicky nose to smell
she told me love was the reason
for this life she lived before saying...

A Cloche Hat UncratedRain splurges
on a house
the pattering of a child running
in an anxious roar to welcome thunder.
Light rapid footfalls race to the window
that forks over the most lightning.
The rain plunges
back into darkness.
Softened to the sound of an...

My Grandmother's Pot Plants
Against the side fence,
four long planks of wood
ascended like steps supported
on pillars of old red bricks
serving as a stand
for my Grandmother's collection
of potted plants.
Cuttings from exotic species gifted
by friends, passed down family...

ThresholdCold hospital light
My footsteps pause at the door.
Her cries pierce the walls.
Birth's ancient struggle unfolds.
Beyond where fathers may go
Nurses hurry past.
With cryptic glances that hold
Untold miracles
Hours bend like willow branches,
Time stretches, contracts,...

I Recall CurtainsCurtains, at Grandma’s house,
hide the inner sanctum -
memories remodeled.
—Quote by Poet
I Recall Curtains
Loveliness is lace; I recall curtains.
Village without curtains; and lace.
One bow on a pine, lopsided star.

Death's wingsThe only time I was ever happy
Was when we,
Grandma and I sang songs of old times
It made me feel so safe and yes,
I believed nothing could take the pleasure away.
But one night,
On a very cold...

She nodded, a Parisian party girl, that ain’t no lie
Kind of a vampy tramp, said his ignoramus cousin Jim

Boxes of MemoriesIt's hard to believe it has been nine years
since my brother delivered each box.
