by feel, I gaze at the odd
cloud pattern
~~
cat's tongue
causing concentric swirls
in the birdbath
~~
no face-to-face time
but friends forever
anyway
[written to the late Carolyn Crain
while I lived in Arkadelphia]
~~
cat on the ledge
is he smelling the silk
poinsettia bloom?
~~
deceased's last address:
ledge under the I-40
overpass
[K. Heard article, AD-G, 2006]
Last poem is especially powerful.
