Drinking from natures braised spigot
Hand feeding her heart
Lilacs humming morning growth
Like rose buds
Winged seedling of clearings
Gossiping auburn sea designs
Recommending, liquid human expressions
In three dimensional art
Eating trembling leaves
Leaves
Leaves, she knew by name
Caused Jenny Craig abductions
Of which she won’t mention
She thought about forked tongues
Of some paths
Wondering bout the laughter
Seemingly worth the effort
But then to an outdoor drifter
Spiritual circles range an inside world
Like a pimp in the street
Disciplined to hangers-on
Necessity gestures
Climb in the dread of waiting
Carving human lives
Like a Nobel Prize
With persistent telephone calls
Which can be ignored….
Or answered
There should be more nursing homes
With occasional guests
Full length ambition
Pared with companionship
Not to be written on a to-do list
Merely, worn, like stockings
Where slippers snuggle
Singing the same song

Wonderful write here Lee...
Your words draw the reader in
and give them pause to explore and imagine.
Well done!
Hugs~
