Mothers Day
Project XO
Appliqued
with a Mama Bear
hugging California
Got to slide past now
Another brush with mortality
Midnight Friday
Had to vomit myself
a rare occurrence
Felt like I'd been poisoned
and my heart rattled all night
Still fibrillated days later
Opera House
is diversifying
An older African American
was looking at the posters
as I snapped
I remarked,
Imagine if they
were your kids
I think he said
he wouldn't mind it
if they did
In Portugal
it's Peixoto Day
Big Fish Day
Perversely
Patriarchal Romania
converted this
to Fathers Day
2
The Ascension of Our Lord
Somehow Jesus got flipped
Really the significance of this day
I found myself at a Spanish Mass
at the Cathedral
Communion
enfolded me in
His Ascension
After Mass
all the Mothers were given
a beautiful rose
It was touching
You could feel their joy
Hey El Trumpo!
These people are holy
and you are the criminal
and the rapist
They were still
dispensing roses
as I shuffled off
to the elevator
Christ is my strength
in my darkest hours
I came home
continuing my recovery
and listened to a cheerful lion
