I didn’t mean to be found there
huddled in the corner—
red face and swollen eyes
were to have been protected by
the darkness….

you stand with your back to me
vulnerable
silent
I, transfixed
by how your wings attach
to blades of shoulders

When I look into the eyes of an animal I do not see an animal.
I see a Living Being.
I see a Friend.

She counted quarters
Dropped by compassion,
Passer-bys

I soothe your fevered brow if it is wanting,
You read me books to while away the hours,
He feeds you broth and silences the phone calls,
She tempers any tantrums, treats the sores.

Poetry challenge: Christmas poem.
A sobering thought
Can I ask your indulgence for just a mo?
and to picture a scene with me?
It’s cold and it’s started snowing
And down there, close to the sea
There’s an empty bus shelter and an old cardboard box
And a man on a bench looking grim
Do you remember that day when you were shopping in town
Can you not remember him?

Don’t tell her your troubles
For she will listen
Don’t tell her how life
Has been unfair
Don’t tell her it’s hard to get through a day
Don’t tell her because
She is already there

To hear the beating of the smallest heart
and pause in respect and reverence,
know and honor unspoken dreams,
welcome those with open arms

As I sat eating my meal
Alone in my thoughts and cares
I noticed a little girl
Turn her head and briefly stare
She saw a homeless man with a hopeless look
Who’d been hungry for far too long
Her eyes grew sad from what she saw
Then she whispered to her mom
I don’t know what she said
As she pointed to him
But when her mom smiled
There was joy in her eyes again

You lay before me nicely decorated.
Despite that you were a weak and doddering sponge of a man.
One who was too undependable to demonstrate love and compassion.
I review your constant state.
As my heart exhumes the recitals of your frailty and your miscarriages.
Though a transient, your face is kindred.
I regret that I only knew you through stories of pissed lullabies,
desecration, and verbal vomit.
