Flawed Gem

Your arm
an angry intaglio
Your secret
revealed

Oh, daughter
I did not
protect you

An Unexpected Shower (The Leonid)

You woke us
from our sleep-warm dreams
to lie close
on cold concrete
and watch Earth and Heaven meet.

Your gift to us-
Delight.

First Party

(5 Day Old Anthony Attends a 60th Anniversary Party)

Light increases
as he entered the room
emanating from him,
reflected in our eyes.

A pliable bundle
passed from arm to arm,
melding to each one
his Kith and Kin

Who delight to discover
a mosaic of familiar
and unfamiliar forms
In their newest guest,
their Best.
