cat’s tongue
the shallow rasp
of a scar

tree bark
kissed by wind—
out of the blue
a memory of you
appears

Mary Thank you for these three Christmas gifts. My favorite is the lemon oil but the cat’s tongue speaks to me as does the pruning roses. Our holidays are NC a mixture of old comforts and some scars and some sweet memories of those we loved. Merry Christmas Charlotte!
