Sarah

Two years

was not long enough

to know your light.

 

You gave me

your handwritten recipe

for orange marmalade;

 

your daughters gave me

your cookbook holder,

serving bowl,

a vessel of sun

from your backyard—

 

and spaces to hold

the reminder

of your smile.

My sweet neighbor, Sarah, passed away on August 31st.  Her husband, John, passed away on September 2nd, but that is another poem.

The Strategy of Fear

From down here,

in the dragon’s nest,

history leaves us seeing things.

 

The way water, air,

carve a figment,

a face in rock, red,

looking for light.

 

A channel, a hint

of a forgotten enemy

suddenly remembered

 

who thieves us

of our long-held dreams.
