Last breath’s memories:
Cry, the beloved country!
Mandela’s freedom!

Coin on the Ground
Small like a found coin
Or unexpected visit –
Miracles from prayer.
Loneliness
Standing in a field.
Wind whipping naked body …
When no one responds.
Sparks
A twelve-year-old shoots.
Angels weep and hold us close.
A twelve-year-old shot.
Wedding Day
Husband and wife just minutes after marrying each other. Carol Cizauskas and Donald Prather, The Plumas House, Reno, Nevada, Saturday, 12 October 2013.
Angels seen, unseen
Warmed October air with love
As we said I do.
Is This Life?
Black bee sting lingers,
Spreading its poison over
And over again.
Brother’s Alzheimer’s
And family dysfunction
And friends’ critical words.
A small girl cowers,
Ineffectively shielding
From vicious attacks,
While the enemies
Grow drunk in their ecstasy
That she is broken.
Hatred
Hot tears pooling pain
Bleeding out a child’s spirit
Until nothing left.
God’s Love
Angels channel warmth
On golden wings, this loving
To heal broken hearts.
Jealousy
Is it all because
At fifteen a reckless kiss –
Always imprisoned?
Thirty Years
Promise thirty years
So that she knows you won’t leave.
Comfort, joy, and peace.
