More than a figment of my imagination,
My mind’s magnificent creation,
There was hope in the voice,

To be ambidextrous
I’d give lungs or gills
To be amphibious
I’d give all my mobility
To be ambulatory
I’d give and take
To avoid ambiguity

Abigail Ampwire, thin as a reed,
Face of beauty, pained by her grief,

I put out the fire.
Holy book in my hands.

wings out; body lithe and bright,
swoops and darts for snacks:

snow and sleet mixing
to make a wintery mix
it is really cold
the snow is sticking
first we have had this winter
a fireplace would rock
heads up mouths open . . . more

Smudged heads, examined hearts,
thus, our Lenten fasting starts.
We are dust, but formed by Love
Holy Breath gives life a shove.

Disappear
I don't want to inconvenience you
I don't want you to even see me here
I would prefer you walked right past me
My wish is to disappear

I think I may
have died today.

I thought I might
cry today.
But the tears
would not be found.
I tried to hide
