Some Say

~ Candace ~ Leave a comment

she can’t let go
of papers, books,
things I think is
junk
she can’t let go
of plastic bags
single gloves and socks
worn out shoes
she can’t let go
everything has a memory
attached to it
some say she’s nuts,
a hoarder,
irresponsible
who am I to judge

It’s A Small World

~ Candace ~ 2 Comments

(are you humming?)

there is a whole tiny
universe going about
the business of living –
and dying –
finding food
hooking up (blush)
defending territory
a small world that
goes unnoticed
unless you slow down,
stop to quietly observe
every summer
a small world exists
on my milkweed

An Honorable Woman

~ Candace ~ 6 Comments

She is a rule follower
even when no one is looking
she reuses and recycles
cleans up after her dog
checks in on elderly
neighbors – she is
also elderly
she keeps her word
returns library books
on time
she’s paid her dues
in this hard life
and still she laughs
she is an honorable
woman
