Quadro-Widow's loneliness breeds sadness



between those four walls
breeds sadness as the widow cries
her fallen husband
staring out to lonely mothballs

crazy cat lady
chasing mothballs
thinking maybe
scented
are her
calls
keeps
her thoughts
locked in an closet
emotionally she applauds it
crazy cat lady got lost
in
an
mothballs flame
branded were her paws
as she clawed at my name
?

Oh, meaty mothballs!
    as opposed to mothy meatballs
  Alternatively - slobbering sloth-balls!

    as opposed to dumb incinerator
  Alternatively - dirty toenail taster!
    instead of wanton whiskey-waster

  It's the start of a brand-new year
    Let's raise glasses and expectations
  And while we're at it
    ~ improve imprecations!...

Betty Davis old wired hanger
in the upper left hand corner spiders web

and on the closet shelf an folded up patch quilt blanket
Grams old fur rabbit coat
nestled tween the raincoat and dad's work shirts
ragged old hoody
Mothballs scented smell entire closet a memory of useful things now hidden away

Powdered wig was musty

Mothballs smell much better
Especially in August weather.

George put it on his head anyway
Not wanting to disappoint his mother today
Rode on the float and waved to the crowd
Showing out with a hoppy dance, proudly and loud

That’s George Washington! His parents yelled.
Knowing full well that he always excelled.
Helicopter Mom and Motorcycle dad.
Still they raised a truly wonderful lad....
