And that gentle wise, who any knowledge kept,

Told to encourage me: “don’t have a loss

Thinking of you
is mesmerizing and
true…just like
morning dew, it’s
fresh and I’m
actually feeling
brand new – that’s
something new

shoe…sick...

Everyday as I walk down 
The feeble passage 
Across the center of poverty

We are each a spring of therapeutic kindness 
and pathological unkindness
emerging from and toward a rising river of time,
flowing down deep through universal oceanic absorption,
ebbing back upriver's EarthBound regeneration
back through time
leaping to confluently touch healthy...

Oh, how my initiative has flustered,
for I assumed of years before we separate
I sigh through dear retirement of a beloved pastor.

What stinginess imposed no access to Fish Fries and the classes?

how to add a little romance 
and excitement to their day?

He forgoes his prime obsession

Last year I was forced to shoot my Great Dane.
Killing my dog has brought about a great deal of pain.
Before he got the rabies, he was friendly and had a lot of vigor.
My heart shriveled...
