Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

that recurring figure
occupying space in my mind
still a mystery

mealtime songfest
each child’s solo
stronger than the last

repair paint rotten wood
four years since extension ladder
younger son bracing

he doesn't have the skills
for the work but he is mountainous
and has mighty hands

mountain boy
mighty like Everest
my safety net

buried in my skull
deep DNA images
ready when I am

kibbutz night music
whooshes, soft roars and cat songs
one-time show?

pulse accelerates
mind makes new connections
as Fall shows her face

you ok, judih? tell me you & yours are ok. Please

juudih: wrote

that recurring figure
occupying space in my mind
still a mystery

a silent space in my brain
in the sacred core that burns within
she is there for me always

she still sings same songs
for kiss given years ago,
listen carefully

she still sees
she reads
a careful reader is my benefactor

a derivative ku?
beats me
I got to try

...

normalcy we cry
we pray to live humble lives
bring her home to us

- when your armies,
all your babies,
go off to war -

under the Xmas tree
an electric train that could
only travel in circles
