I write another
useless poem in praise of
the Keeper of all
mortal things. It’s a
pretty Spring day; New England
earth loosens our snow.
We praise our Keeper
through all this change. Beautiful
red-haired Lenaje
flies home tomorrow.
Today we praise our Keeper
to keep her safe, her
papa safe, her boy-
friend safe and ready to start
over when it’s time.
