the day we lost the power

the power went

between 2 thunderstorms;

the first while we played in the indoor pool

the second when the electric died

at 9:30PM.

 

I switched to touch

and pondered the power

that I still had:

in touch, scent, sounds, smells,

and tastes

and in other dimensions

divine and astral.

 

I saw into space

my feet grounded in marble

and the rocks of Westinghouse.

LINGERING

Oliver Listens

Lingering tastes on my fingers
Lingering tunes in my ears
Lingering love in my heartstrings
Evaporates foibles and fears.

Lingering tunes in my ears
Pluck plums, pears and
Popsicle tears.

Lingering love in my heartstrings
Plays melody’s
Symphonies:

Evaporates foibles and fears
For me, eternally
Born again child.

Privacy Rang My Doorbell: “Ding!”

Privacy Rang My Doorbell: “Ding!”

Privacy rang my doorbell: “Ding!”
to ask if I could
“come out to play” before
I vacuumed, dusted and did
the dishes, which glistened in
the sunlight, reflecting yesterday’s delights
and tomorrow’s promises rich with
tastes, aromas, sounds of comfort
and sharing and all I
do in public to serve
those loved before I play!
