i am not an animal.. i am old
20 days in a covid foxhole saw the suffering and grace
of the almost dead and free the Queen now flying my
mother crying
where am i ?
who are u ?
nice silverhaired once daughter one more once
several tiny periwinkle butterflies gone by 11th morn
shorn by too aggressive chauncey gardener splattered
over grass bloodywinkleconfetti i DON’T like to watch Eve
heartseeping after learning mother’s delirium
slow moving + carcinoma daughter’s delirium
incurable too
