To My Friend August 1991


A busy day
First, time alone
Read, pray, reflect
A long look inside
And out

Then groom
Clients - what shall I wear?
Mind on the mundane.
My son, Josh, 13
Worry a little. Will he
feel too lonely while
I'm gone?

Josh
Tall now. Taller than
me. All arms and legs.
And stomach - how
can he hold so much
And be so skinny?
Sunshine

Seaview
Del's office - home.
Check my box. Messages
News. An envelope
with my name on it.
A smile.

Feelings
Warmth. Fun. An
acceptance. And
vulnerability.
Wonder. Surprise. I
laugh into my next session
With warmth.

Clients
Me over and over. Different
forms. Different stories.
Del says I'm too ready 
to identify.
Still...me, over and over.
Tears, fears, love,
decisions to make.
