longing
for the moment
I am in-

or sanctity?

she turns away
as the veterinarian
extinguishes a kitten
clawing for life

on the walls of caves

                                                 Notes from the Gean 3.4

as a child
afraid in the dark

Amanda Knox is free
I want to be let

tenderly I note
aging in my husband’s face
life’s limits known
no need to rush
this sweet time together
