The reflection of the wall /
That holds you in?

Possum handling
Possum in my hands /
Baby in the morning sun /
Embracing nature.

Sweet Heat
Sweet heat of Jesus /
Tastes full-bodied on your tongue /
Psalm to calm it down.

Clouds
Morning light, gray clouds /
Earth below, folded in shrouds /
Of deep rays and rain. /

Flickering
Next remembers nothing /
Of the world it inherited /
From yesterday’s dreams /
Burning brightly but shortly /
On a stack of birthday cake. /
Take all the kindness /
And burn away the sorrow:
One flame for regret /
One flame for forgetfulness /
Two for forgiveness: one outer/
And one inner /
One flame for the quiet that may never come /
One flame for all left not done. /
And maybe one for love stretched over the decades /
Flickering still on this least of holy nights.

Odds and ends
Stray cat, tame flowers. /
February spring, March hours. /
Love now, storm glowers.
