Morning Gray
The virus stops me
from working out at the gym
from coffee and
blueberry scones
savored at Whole Foods
from enriching cats
at the animal shelter
from leading Circle of Friends
at an assisted living
from the current events group
at the senior center
and the breath of yoga
on Tuesday mornings
and the life blood
of Wednesday’s poetry group
and dinner with friends
hugging cheek to cheek
ii
Afternoon Light
Cut stems yesterday
placed in water
daffodils nod now
from the vase in the sun
pet the cat
hear him purr
a comfort song
in my little life
