last place
vision shared
if I should get one more
to try
smallish place
but high with windows
please
then to set a circle out of chairs
lamps
here and there
so you may come to call
and
bring your friends
and we could talk of this or
that
of the word of God
in book and
in
the world
or what
to be praying for
when we have talked enough
on point
then
this intention
final chats
and
go
and I am at least a little pleased
that isolation goes
with some
condition for some company
while
on
that way
if no other closeness than the spirits
which should be close
enough
I know
though now I’d take more in the flesh as
any
might receive from
me
in this last
try
at home
though remember
but then one
or two
come by so we will sit
and
sip
and chat of
you know
anything

Miracling
I’d like to live in sunshine
I’d need some shade
Maybe water in the distance
Perhaps a chair and a small table
While I’m ordering
I shouldn’t forget the breeze
That would be an easy place
Oh, all the time
I’m imagining
My situation next
To a tall tree
From which, you know,
All the shade has come
Did you get that, angels?
I know you have important work
To do
Are you ever on a break?
Maybe between assignments, you could
Swing (should I say wing?) my way
Toward what really are
Small miracles
Even though they’d make a world
For me,
Any company—
So I’ll need more chairs
