My Christmas gift from my sister-in-law, Maya. I hope she finds happiness.


The Colour of Blood




I'm a woman.
I know
The colour
Of blood.

You cut
Yourself,
Sliced on
The glass,
As you slid,
The picture,
Of our,
Dead Frankie,
Whose eyes,
Smile out at me,
Wherever
I am.

"Hello Big Sis!"
He says,
With
Every
Glance.

And its
So nice,
To imagine,
His voice,
Again.






(Tonite's
His birthday.

He would
Have been
64.)
