Blithe Spirit, Vol. 28, Number 1, February 2018

she wears
a circlet of moon
on her finger . . .
the sheen of their love
now softened with age


a large raft
of resting sea otters
holding hands . . .
I never imagined you
drifting so far away


my hands
falter upon the keys
until a bird
reminds me of songs
I have yet to sing
