More lines from a thank you note...
Thanks again for breeze stirred ginkgo leaves
adrift in silence to the sunlit sidewalk;
and for a yellow lawn.
for twin cousins who come each year with great aunt Lilly;
weighted down with pecan pie bread pudding;
with oysters mosca and peanut butter cake.
Thanks for another day,
for time to listen.
thanks for knowing to sit still and listen.
for baby sisters who look like dad
who looked like great grandmother.
Thank you,
More lines from a thank you note...
And thanks for quiet women who cook and sew and tend to ancient ones.
thanks for silence lit alone by clock light;
for rarely interrupted dream-free sleep.
for neighbor ladies who wave from their porch.
for energy infused from the great spirit amidst those moments of desperation
when flight seems the only solution.
thanks for flight as a solution.
for Joan Baez.
Many thanks.
