A LIGHT glows
Arm stretches
Fingers POINT
Bend from WAIST
A spinal TWIST
Glorious yoga pose

Set one more place,
our GUEST shall stay.
Hot soup, candlelit conversation.
MOIST pear cake, a leftover.
Cat’s chin rests across her WRIST,
no rush to move, any of us.
He tells us the TWIST
is the biggest seller
at Crescent Donut. We launch
into silly food reminiscences.
Laughing, eyes twinkling.

The last time we gathered,
lit these same candles, we spoke
of fear, loss, what it means to trust.
