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.

Morning on the Street

Crisp December first,

Soul having flown suddenly

From the still badger.

Ticolino – 16 August 2010

Veil lifts, connecting

To beloveds far and here –

Every soul a saint.
