already too far

from the nightglow

a tidal wishing star

what we said

to the snow

an igloo’s hush

the bend within

a dreamer’s forest

pressing daisies

back into my memory

summer’s end

a morning chill

that old cardigan

wrapped around me again

ten sentences

as the narrative

rambles on . . .

all I wanted was

a simple yes or no

of espresso love

steeped too long

in loneliness

lost and found

lost in thought

on tiny parachutes

milkweed

As I place the hearing aid

in my ear, a bell rings within,

an invitation to enter

a sanctum of sound where

voices inspire, cajole and comfort.
