a splash of joy shot
before me on the carpet.
rainbows from sun-kissed
crystals hanging in the window;
tiny arcs;
splotches
of brilliant colors
flashing, moving.
color smiles in
winking frequencies of light.
the periwinkle-lavender
hues my favorite,
but
the orange lights my fire.
the pink chose the middle
like a dot over an i;
an eye in the rainbow arc
like a spring bloom,
from a crystal in the window,
kissed by the sun.

Reaching Out
I promise her. I'd do anything for her. She's my mom. Even as Lanie and Deanna are flying home, Mom is scrappy fighting dying. She lays too still in that too-big bed with all the toasty white hospital blankets, in the south tower, at the broad end of a long slow-turning corner that delivers me again to her private room with the view she can't see through, with the beeping that tells us nothing new, and all these ice chips she can't swallow, and a flood of well-intentioned nurses who cannot do a damned thing all the same.

Love the poem and the pic looks like two exotic birds on a rainy gray surface.
This is a lovely poem, Andrea! I love the photograph too. We hang crystals in our windows as well and we both love it when the colors dance about our room. Simple pleasures!
