Sheila’s Cane, After Surgery
some things
like ice crystals in winter
and sweat droplets
in summer
are
ubiquitous
it turns out that
sheila’s cane is also
a naturally occurring object
one
i spot and come across
sitting down by my laptop
or
the cane hung perfectly on the
spacings of her chair
beside my bed, on
a small rack for
knick knacks
and
clothes still needing drying –
between the
cushions of our small sofa aka
love seat
and even in
the kitchen, handle
curved to slide between
slats of the small pantry i built
when we first moved to vermont
our
beverage-station nut can stuffed can’t
do without
got-on-sale at K-Mart
pine unit
now
officially the kitchen cane
holder
it
could be worse
i realize
my belt loops could prove
awfully handy
for a cane
in need
but judging by the daily-increasing
clump-stump
sound
of her foot and cane speed
room to room down the hall around the
corners negotiations
i’ll play it safe and just call it for what it is –
sheila’s (and mine) candy cane

ps – tried to post to your “summer memories” twice, but not sure it is showing, but felt you captured the appearing and re-appearing of our summer memories in our lives really nicely 😉
esp like,
“That time is like white sandbar in Pacific Ocean,
which appears and disappears in the sea foam” –
very nice, thank you heaven 😉

The everyday and commonplace take on poetic loftiness handled in these terms. LIke the shaped poem twirling and ever changing – leading to the “sweetest” ending. Much enjoyed.
