Long Abled Poems

I've been warmly remembering
your peak solidarity experience
joyfully shared

When you suggested
in a state-wide wisdom circle
that our cooperative advocacy
might feel more robust
and become more strategically
and resonantly effective
If and when
local communities more intentionally share
our current municipal Trauma

The sky has dug a hole in the cloud

Admittedly a little bit of me can see I have an ability
missing ambition to mission living submissively in submission,

'twas  the night before any Christmas...

And all over our any town,
Lonely seniors tried so hard to forget,

She entered my life upon happenstance.
I was unaware and naive.
No angels to carry my chin.
No raindrops to cleanse my emptiness.
"I am a landscaper without a garden.
Surely, you cannot help me?"

An unhesitant smile bewitched me.

As if the child's birth was mere curse.

I no longer wish to know and do
grows longer with each advancing year.

And, because I live with no one
capable and willing to work with me,
side by side,
or even in alternating shifts

wills the clock face, hands smile--it...
