Department Store Elves

Folder: 
Unseen

Stocking Christmas window

shelves

for others and not for

themselves

seen by those outside

but not within the store

are

the department store elves

..

as anonymous acts of charity

indivisible

are known to angels

invisible

more than to

neighbors visible...



UNSEEN MUSIC



Choirs of angels

.. and the MGM orchestra

not seen but heard

... like the muses

of the genius

.. of Caligula's John Hurt

.. or of the swift wit

of sweet Loretta Swit



WILLOWED RIVER



  A line of fireworks

springgreen willows

follows and

bends with the

      turns of the river,

like devotees visible,

drawn to the teacher's love invisible.



DIED IN HER ARMS



Myra and Carrie

had been a couple

for several years

3 decades

before...

but they were separated by

the norms of society.

Years flowed by.

When Mary found

that her old love

now widowed

was dying..

she went to her

.. and held her

...as her friend

died in her arms
