Effie and Jay, Momma needs you...

Poems

Holding the din of silence,

in hot little hands.

All red cheeks and sucked thumbs.

The smell of Johnson’s



Bourne from the battle.

The prison once called a relationship.



A dream, sprung from a whisper,

turned the very root of the tree of life.

A reason for existence.



Presented with this present

- of your presence.



"Bui Doi"



And all your ensuing paraphernalia,

Following exactly as “All the books say….”



A balm on an aching heart,

Papa Bear only too please to acquiesce

Read: Given little choice,

considering the need to atone for his absences



”If this is right, if I get this right then, maybe,

I am too”




But somewhere something had come from nothing.

Pie crust promises.

Easily made, easily broken.

And you can't mend what was never fixed
