UNTITLED POEM ON A FOUR PAPER PLATES
By Raymond Charles Lewis (My dad)
The big dipper
is too low in the sky
to see above the trees, -
emmense, tiny clusters
and mist of the milky
way,
A cow almost brays
or honks,
lapping + lap + soft
slapping the water, -

MINNIE'S MANA!Every Day PrisonersThis episode is dedicated to ALL THE WOMEN OF MYANMAR - who, in their ball gowns, unite as the tip of the warrior's spear, driving back the oppressive, armed forces of the Junta - rising up until justice is restored for all.
In loving memory of Lillie! My grandfather's sister, whose life story is a testament for her living family of survivors and the next generations, may we never forget her and the true story of our ancestors.

I love you.
I'm a sailboat
and I weather
every storm.
Alleluia!
when the tide swells
I am yours!
So, I love you -
like the ducklings
on the pond; they land feet first!
Alleluia!
When the tide comes in
I'm yours!
