where was once a hole in your heart
there now resides a PATCH
color bright, a dash of FLAIR, as
with care and glitter, we AFFIX
hearts and flowers, the childlike
appearance belying the import
life-saving, life-affirming
bonding us forever

SUPER day, didn’t do a THING.
Vibe to rest seemed to CLICK.

Thought of dear friend, 1 year
a WIDOW, in a cabin retreat

with adult daughters. This year
less stress is the mode for many.

Avoided impulse to send
only some sort of text MAXIM.

Friends deserve more effort.
Proper letter penned, AFFIX

carefully placed stamps.
My hands sending thoughts

scrawled lovingly across paper.
Their hands opening, receive gift.
