The poet herself, ca 2000.
Abundance of love
Tickling tendrils of my soul:
Your hearts’ golden warmth.
In These Times
Cheek Bones
Genovaite Josephine Ambraziejus as a teen, my mother before she became Genovaite Ambraziejus Cizauskas. 19 March 1926-15 August 2014.
Tracing my cheek lines
To find if your bones are mine.
My mother, my soul.
On the Same Day, August Fifteenth
Genovaite Ambraziejus Cizauskas
Mom of all us five
And gentle mother of Love
Meeting in heaven.
Mary, Mother of Love

Days of wine and song
Together touching the sky
Stretch before you now.
Betrayal
Underneath the smiles
Lies a heart blown by weather.
She thought you a friend.
Peter, Paul and Mary
With my heart breaking,
You visit me this evening
Tenderly again.
Peter, Paul and Mary
The Sad, Arrogant Ex-Fiance Who Abandoned Me
Tomorrow morning
The hug’s scent will dissipate:
Freedom once again.

When your attacker
Finds you despite your blocking,
Fear crackles your skin.
Claws
Nail “Art” at the 2nd Street Walmart in Reno, Nevada. Tuesday, 8 July 2014.
What should have been art
Becomes the stuff of nightmares:
Our narcissism.
Emails
They reached out to her:
Lost friends who had turned away.
Blessings abounding.
