Dear Friend

It was great comfort
In my disrepair
Having your friendship
Not going anywhere

Miles may separate
We hold together
Knowing our true past
Stronger than weather

Now on this trestle
The train is on time
You holding my hand
Is helping me climb

But when I let go
That's your cue too
I'll go down the tracks
And always love you

JM

Meager Offer

Stray cats in my neighborhood
I look foolish calling them
They stop to look
Curious and wary
{Just leave the food and go}
One by one they know me
The one without a morsel
Squatting to offer love
Reaching my fingers
(Here puss cat)
See ya next time
And that was that


JM
