January 2003
amethyst crystals in her medicine pouch /s
african violets only the sounds of ancient rattles and bells /k
moonlit walk cascading grape vines in silhouette /cr
alone with my reflection in the wine glass /s
outside the soup kitchen plum blossoms drift/kk
stars at dusk a scent of lavender at the open gate /cr
lilacs on her dresser grandma's talcum powder /s
wrapped in a fine linen hanky his purple heart/kk
sunday dinner the eggplant marinating in marsala /cr
'here we go 'round themulberry bush' stirring our tea /s
at the disco white under black lights/kk
playing the barney song again and again /cr
