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
