Frozen dead in life jackets,


Cold, bleak irony....

1960 superheroes
arrived inside our grayscale tvs
sporting fringed jackets, leather chaps, and stars on their chests
we knew they were the good guys
the bad guys wore black hats...

The saints are prosperous and you know why
they torment your kingdom, you aren’t shy
condemned by everlasting rickets
hidden by all kinds of false jackets
smoke all the weed, you can’t be the most high....

Fall is here with its brisk, exhilarating air. 
Southern girls wear boots and jackets with a distinctive flair.
It's fun to pick a pumpkin, and rake a big pile of leaves. 
But one good thing for the frugal, is no need for heat or AC....

Yellow jackets biting, stinging
legs running from pain.
Spirit dance, chasing, screaming,
echoing from inside my body.
Was that me screaming?
Arms flailing, puppy snapping, 
Run legs! leave the hay
Until another day.
Too much pain today....

Flakes sparkle, a golden sun emerges;
shadows chase children 'round forts of snow.
The groundhog appears holding his scepter.
"Don't store away those sleds just yet";
warm jackets will reign for six more weeks.
Snow plays its card – spades high.

I had been a small town girl
thought ski tags off expensive jackets meant
jackets were shoplifted

when I left my small rural Iowa town
I saw skyscrapers, and women wearing
tennis shoes with business suits.

In New York City everyone does not say hi
It was a rude awakening....

Now is the time
Of the retrieving of the jackets
From whence they've spent
Their summer repose 
Or
The back of the closet

So sorry that I'd
Forgotten about you
Until your warmth
Sent me searching

Welcome back, old friend
Especially if 
You've got money
In your pocket...

Bluebird, sweetheart, where are you?
Two words I want to say, I do
Boho, laid back, no frills day
Denim jackets all the way
The way you wear yours so in style
Hand in hand walk down the aisle
Flowered dress, if that's your choice
We'll play guitars with just your voice...

Its winter time 
Everything is frozen with ice
Children are skating on the pond 
Their noses are red and so are their faces 
Fingers and toes are cold
People are bundled up in hats, scarves, jackets, sweaters and snow pants
But the main thing is that there is a sense of happiness in the air...

Wearing thick jackets midst summer blazing
Clan members huddle to combat freezing
That’s Alaska of no snow
Prospered by the Lord*, I know…
Yet its map... others still keep on seizing!

For thanksgiving mama went to rehab and my brother went to jail
 For Christmas Santa brought white jackets and bail
 So we decided to make a resolution
 Granny swore Christ would be our solution
 Then it came summer and my cousin married the preacher
 This year for our resolution I think we need a new teacher...

A chilly day
has come this morn
with longer sleeves
and jackets worn

Neath cloudy skies
of dreary view
as rain drops take
the place of dew

But still I go
on merrily
as none of this
will bother me

For even in
the coldest storm
your morning smile
will keep me warm

Musk sodden jackets
Pulled tight
round
icicle pricked skin
Wind snakes its way
past collar and wrist
shedding skin on spine
Sunlight loses time
Winter counting seconds
as stripping leaf from tree and vine
Amber lies divine
Frozen breath
shortens in air
forced through fingers
to create some warmth
to spare...

We leave our
jackets around the chairs
in spite of the 
formalility of the setting.
Well, the outsiders are,
as usual, absent.
There are no guests to
make the rooms into a
tasteful memory.
I know her jacket
and she knows mine. She
sometimes scolds me
but I take it with good grace.
I know she is not
mother....
