his tiny fingers..

seek acceptance
Author's Notes/Comments:
Writer moved into
a home before knowing
there were cockroaches
in it.. her hoarding
ways and Phyllis Diller
housekeeping made them
feel at home
and now realizes
that all the cockroach
sh**
and all the paper
the rats chewed to bits
.. were a Cosmic
Blessing
May God protect
all fingers and toes,
and claws and paws
and hooves and pseudopods
MOUSE FINGERS
his tiny fingers..
so tentative..
their hope tendrils
.. as they tenderly
seek acceptance
(In Hinduism, Ganesha, God of auspicious beginnings, of removing obstacles,
of creative intelligence, is said to ride on a mouse.
It is not only that the mouse gnaws in 2 the rope which cages the elephant
but also that universal nonviolence is the vehicle through which God
pours the most grace
