My little mate
the blackbird
would sense I am no more
and mourn me with a whistle
and a goodbye song
maybe his family
would join the singalong....

I am the hard surface that you see.
Pretty and useful.
Multicultural yet just.
Break the fragile glass into pieces and find shards of pain and fragments of sadness,
broken and messy.
I am glass. 
I am Yu-Ri

Adoption
Written: by Tom Wright
2004

The ultimate in life,
Is its adoption,
It requires of us,
Something, each day.
Laying ashelf
Is not a given option
It must be lived,
There’s no other way.

I had to leave him

at the adoption drop-off

of the place I’d entrusted

with his safe-keeping. . .

    his mournful howl followed me

    as I exited the door

Helpless.
           Time had run out.
          Unable to conceive
adoption brought relief, and love
                 to share.

Born out of wedlock
she gave up her baby girl
for quick adoption.

Twice married since, old and frail,
she laments her childless life.

we have seen tremulous hearts
seeking, securing adoption
of a child abandoned 
or underprivileged 

then time passes
initial fervour is lost
what was boon is bane
the object secured discarded 

we are not judging
merely observing
the fickle heart...

Soul poured out wild and bitter malice
 Wants nobody to  visit a hospitable palace
 Who will appreciate the sincere heart?
 Find yourself in solitude is a great art
 Without companions for the battle goes warrior
 And in case of death, he'll not be sorrier....

Back corner
Of a cage
Skinny
Sad
Cold
Shivering
Vulnerable
Defeated look
Their eyes locked
They made a connection
Visiting him daily for a week
Before taking him home
Never again either to be lonely

Pause.
Treading.
Without cause.
Hot breeze, brushed slate.
Apathetic state.
Rooster, without mo/ourning.
Feels of perpetual, missed date.
Query to contend or content.
A penny earned or a blessing sent.
Strive for change or adoption of what's meant.

I had a dog.  It did not behave.
I took it back to the shelter.
I got a cat.
It hissed at me.
I kicked it out.
Dumped it in the country.
Not caring it was pregnant.
We tried to have a child for four years.
Took in a foster child, but it ran away.
Twice.
We are trying to adopt now....

Wednesday's Child 

seeds sown in the womb of a barren field
despite repeated failure
hope is the last to die

following heartache, realization 
blessed with an alternative:
the gift of adoption

Abortion becomes critical demand everywhere
Because civilization dares death, stares death-making where
Civilization as we know it, doesn't exist
Dare we give children for adoption, for no-one suggests
Especially to folks in our nation: "How is your foetus growing?"
Instead, how is the baby in your womb; Is it kicking? Is it!...

A wasteful effort 
In the waste; 
A retired General 
Is smiling to his public; 
A lover gets rid of 
His expensive flowers; 
The moon is looking 
For adoption 
By the old sun; 
Pilgrims 
Are curious; 
I am tiding up 
My feet 
With a robust trusted cord; 
My legs are above my head now 
I am attempting my last yoga suicide....
