today I am remembering
your righteous indignation stance    
legs wide  
hands on hips
eyes flashing  
beware signs
and oh
you took that stance often

made me smile but    
I could never laugh  
at the spinner you are

today I am remembering you    
eating panblanca    
nibbling  
the corners  
talking
at the same time  

I am remembering    
how you brought me coffee  
offhand  
as if you didn’t really do it  

the way you sang me quiet  
feet up  
eyes on mine  

today I am remembering the way  
you climbed in that messy car  
drove away    

I flew halfway across this country
to discover
love is better
in the same damn zip code

Excellent...loved every syllable of it and
the ending is superbly crafted.

I like the zip in your zip code! I adore your writing ~ and you!

Accoding to Erma Bombeck, "Grass is greener over the septic tank" ~ Ain't that the truth!?!

Another fine penning, Lady Kate!

May the grass be green in your zip zone!

Loves 'n hugs,
EA
