What of those born on
the 29th, their birthday
once every four years?
Longing to hug them,
I wait ’til they flutter near
like moths to my flame.
Handful of turquoise
begs to be strung with silver
draped around my neck.
Grey army trenchcoat
or lime green sixties jacket
J can pull off both.
Got a new camera.
What moments will it capture
in pixels and bytes?
Teenager curled up
becomes baby J who’s glad
that mommy’s nearby.
greatness revealed in
the sound of splinters, words that
pierce my jealous eyes.
Bright lipstick fools them
into thinking I’m well. No
“How do you feel?”
My civic duty
called. Yesterday, I answered.
Pat, Ossie, Art helped.
