Florence Nightingale
and Robert Frost In heaven.
Nurse and poet debate.
Over tea they weigh
how flesh carries memory,
how spirit forgives.

the Orchid Room basking warmth

envelopes with instructions
for special date nights.
Each brown envelope
was spicier than the last.
He was reading her.

Destined for greatness:
a toddler with a marker
and a fresh new wall
At the junior prom,
valiant apologies
for clumsy dancing
Inattentive to
cars in the driveway, birthday
boy feigned his surprise.
Elder wonderment
family portraits preserved
now retro artwork

Why do phrases of
“peevish character” still lean
toward coded bias?
Nag and henpecked words,
all from the animal world,
echo old cages.
Language molts slowly,
yet we still flinch when old words
hiss with borrowed blame.
