Birthday

The first in 65 years
without you in it.

Bracketed for me
the tender black silhouettes
of trees against early and late
light
Soft spring air

I dreamed you in the middle

Hi puddle,

Anniversaries are so hard. I hope you get through the day OK.

"For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

"They shall bear the up in their hands, lest thy foot dash against a stone."

Thanks, nordy. I did. And it'll never be the first one again.

Tried to post a note to puddle on baby, but blogger won't take my password.

puddle, if you see this, here's a hug for you. It's been a hard year, but isn't it wonderful that Edwin had a May birthday when everything begins to bloom again?

Off to the salt mine. bbl
