A basket sits in memory,
It held: needles, buttons, thread,
a tomato pincushion,
(you know the kind.)
And the good scissors
with empty orange eyes-
I was not to touch.
(Mrs. Karl T. Cooper Jr.)
Do I believe in the resurrected body?
How could I not?
Why else would I kick this pebble along the path?
Satisfied by its trajectory.
What else is there?
(Mrs. Karl T. Cooper Jr.)
Dimple hands
take my cup-
and a new pact
is made.
(Mrs. Karl T. Cooper Jr.)
Sweet bird build your nest
Work diverts and strobes your tail
or do my eyes blink?
(Mrs. Karl T. Cooper Jr.)
