Eulogy (WC)

 


(November 18, 2022, feast day of the Rosary Virgin of Chiquinquira, Start of Novena to Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, and feast day of Saint Mabyn of Cornwall (related image above) and Saint Rose Philippine Dutchesne. Image from here.)


Eulogy

Fast forwarding to (as in joint memory),

partner's stance as we round Rolena Loops, 

fly up Five Mile; the notes of Mom’s green

thumb, hands smoothing blanket (cat jumps in);

the notes of a palm-held goldfinch, as of yet

just right out window--splash of sunglow gold

awaits nest
