Four Tetractys (from the actual triangular form...they're just funky right triangles):

1.

I
find it
amazing
that I can't keep
oatmeal off of my shirt and in my mouth

2.

My
job is
on shaky
ground...see we
are located on a hill...that erodes.

3.

Can
we start
over? I
almost forgot
how good it feels to fall for the first time.

4. (this is for the host of Mango's in DC...I'm one of her biggest fans)

She
is God
transformed as
a performer
named Raquel Brown who sings nothing but truth.


The Cinquan...very much unfinished

i watched
him laying still
breathing evenly while
smiling tomorrow's dreams through eyes
closed shut

he held
my hand tightly
head on lap, body on
sofabed we shared till he was
too old

to be
sleeping with
momma, or sister as
he was told in a household
that weaved

tales of
deceit where
we conceal shame in
faux smiles, weak handshakes, illusions
painted

...and that's all i have so far on that one...
