My Table ( Psalm 23 )

[the mingo]

my table
framed photograph, potions in bottles,
small metal cup, empty wrappers -
- a slim book of poems
written by dead Japanese women -
a plastic key to money
a phone

I have a fire going
so I get up once every while
to tend it

4 a.m. car goes by
cat passes into the next room
she is looking for something

fire going strong now
the next storm approaching
from the west

[Doreen Peri]

What a great night! Thanks for the glimpse. There you are!

[the mingo]

Thx for the read & say, Doreen - appreciate it

[saw]

like a written snapshot
I record the ordinary and sublime....
