How Should I Live?
like La Reina
finding comfort in each space
no matter size; sun
Shadows and Needles
like leftover trees
after Christmas joy is gone
this is our country
Puffed Pockets of Hope
kitty loves jackets
Patagonia-repaired
perfectly pink warmth
January 6, 2021
my kitty comfort
is no comfort on this day

It’s Been a Year…
and the wheels still spin
and we try and wish and blow
and hope for a change

Christmas Roulade
rolled in this meringue:
apples, mascarpone cream,
burnt honey. ’20.
baked in this Roulade:

folded in this bake:
some precious moments of peace
so hard sought, well earned
masked in this meringue:
a year of bittersweet loss
melted into joy
