you said the sparows were joyful usually when you watched them on jesus only mornings how they seemed to know your eyes loved them and they didn't mind entertaining for free you wished the other jesus didn't scare them when he came along on those summer fridays with his big mower to do the lawnscapes and pick up the flowers your neighbors left I heard the chuckle you gave that humming bird when he chased the others away from your roses and how you did the little aww thing afterwards when he hovered to harvest one of your smiles you don't mind my cigars any more you said the smoke makes lovely shapes in the pines and makes you imagine me holding your hand when the damp ground around you is so cold beneath your stone, and the empty shades of grey ____________ Dark |

. . . and "dust sprinkling" with the best of them . . . The last line grabbed me in a grayish sort of way. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Sometimes your words bring smiles, sometimes they bring tears. These did both. |
