FLEDGLINGS
What privileged robins live in my back yard…
racing through the sprinkler, barely giving me any notice…
but WHO, may I ask, tipped over the big blue pot under the umbrella?
Hmm?
Emil Catt, was it you?
PEACE
Dalwhinnie, straight up
cool, quiet breeze
vapor trails dissolving
heading north east
NaPoWriMo Day Ten
IN DISCUSSION WITH HELEN
was thinking about you losing your joy –
my experience has been that my joy is never lost.
tho’ sometimes moldering under layers of grief, or anger, or exhaustion,
inevitably it pushes through to the surface
refusing to be denied
refusing my miserable attempts to ignore it,
much like Emil Catt insistently butting his head against my hand for a rub
it can be so annoying
