Hedwig


Her house, a memory lane of sacred spaces:
the cobwebbed attic travel trunks, 
high heeled shoes, pink taffeta gowns, 
skirts that open into spinning parasols,

This is true or not

Death is dead

Once more

Where they stole the boots off the leftovers 
before they buried them after war

So as to keep the noise of trampling
dead feet down

Wallowing in morbid abode.
Whiling away the endless...

Flour on her hands, and centuries on her elbow
Fingers balance a 'hand-me-down' dish, 
Roosting deftly on finger-tips, high in mid-air
Lovingly she spins it, magician's hands twirling
Trimming the edges with flourish and flair

A bit like Da...

Rusty machinery, old books, paper and string

Horace collected other junk every single day

Completely unable to put anything in a bin

She used second-hand water.
Water which had first been used to scrub vegetables, or rinse the dishes.
And poured it over her red geraniums with loving hands
Waste not, want not....that was her motto.

She sneaks upon you
When you least expect
Beware, little one
No tolerance of disrespect

She will stand near
Seeing if you will give ear
...but never linger
The moment you perceive
Reject or receive

Once, maybe twice
TRUTH will come to each

Waste Not Want Not

My parents and grandparents taught me
Waste not and want not they said
But liposucked fat into bar soap
I can’t get that thought through my head
The fat that is sucked from some rich ladies

I arrive early for the meeting.
Row upon row of chairs
face forward, like a flock of sheep, 
nose to tail, waiting for a shepherd.

My grandmother raised sheep,
cows, pigs, geese, and children.
Grandpa buckled under tuburcolosis,
leaving her seven...

Slowpokes
Written: by Miracle Man

My wife isn’t one to just sit and piddle,
She cares about others and is always on the go.
She’s forever busy but accomplishes little,
Saying “where this day’s gone I do not know.”

She’s always...

Times were lean but life was good
When waste not, want not we understood
In the refrigerator all leftovers would accumulate
Come the weekend Grandma scraped it all onto a plate
She really cleaned it out; nothing was excluded

Another trash bin filled with food
Reminding me of Society's strange paradox
Of how we gluttonously consume
And yet waste so much.
Ripping morcles from famished mouthes
Only to discover they are past sell-by date
And consign them to their grave.
