C-ontain the alarming attack
O-f the violent virus; 
R-epel the China crisis
A-nd the risk so vicious.

A-larming attack applies
L-ethal link of the curse; 
D-efense is really important, 
E-ven equipment matters. 
F-ight the terrible threat
O-f the devil dark and black; 
L-et not the immunity system
L-ose to alarming
A-ttack.

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....

I hear it snowed at home today
while I basked in the sun.
I don't care, I cannot wait
to hold my little ones.

Edna my precious first born
with your hair of flaming red.
I miss talking things through.
The wise things you've said.

Cora with that bear hug
I love walking into.
Tight embrace, I'm encased
in the love flowing from you.

Rena my baby now and always.
Turning twenty soon.
The joy you've given, I'm smitten.
Love you to the moon.

And back!

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.
