Golden Jubilee

#43 Steps echo from star to star

           for Karen--Who else?

These lines to work with

When I didn't keep myself

I had no traction

Scattered in blue dust

Words rooted, leaning away

Waiting for your call

*

Syllabic footnote

Tear storm, wind storm, wait tear call

Detritus wind wait

  

#44 Air fills with promises

Where poet's verse dulls

Wayside where shadows catch light

Long marriage perfume
