Premium Member Grandma Cora Stared Me Down

my new quilt is made of hundreds of cats
grandmother quizzed me. Are you sure?  Did you count them?
maybe fifty cats? I said.
grandma cora stared me down.
I was squirming now. 
sixteen cats? 
her face said that she knew better.
I took another stab at a count “maybe six cats?”
she asked me to hold up the quilt. 
knowing when I fib, even if it is through video chat.
she has the knack!
probably because she practiced on my mommy.


Premium Member I Paused It And Now Joey Cora Is Staring At Me

Ruffling the feathers
Of your expectations.
Rilke to the left.
The portrait of Alf
The back of my left ear.
What unconscionable theives,
These Time Czars,
Where we live with the scars,
As joy bounces on the crevices.
I see you in the dark in some cave.
Let me be your bombastic populist.
The Strong Arm of the Soul.
Play in the light of least resistance. 
My garden grows in the garden of your heart.
My every breathe is your eternal existence.
Bite the doughnut. 
Press for hugs.
