dose of poetry
maternity or nativity
surrounds me
not untroublesome
rich tomato broth
with calamari, shrimp, and clams
hand burnt, tongue happy
overwhelmed with sweets
toffee candy, lots of cookies
avoided yule log, gooey and blue
best sight of the day
Ellie’s happy smile
although she lost her glasses
binoculars
to help me
see the world
hours immobilized
hard to pretend
it’s fun
