 “Truly, I find myself struggling
with being in my 90's… strange because age never bothered me before. All in my head, of course.
I'm better now."

Bits and Pieces I keep finding
bits of you lying around as today there you are I push the tape button in my car and smile to hear your special song then in the freezer find a half-eaten carton of raspberry ice-cream and leafing through a strange magazine it occurs you have crossed so many thresholds I can only grasp at bits and pieces as you pass • Marjorie Gaunt © 2010

Finding Buttercups I wander where wind is bending
grasses in the meadow and I look for you your luminous cups of gold filled with sunlight my mother sought you for a small bouquet and taught me that holding your golden light beneath my chin reflected your glory she placed you in a blue bowl yellow and blue like the colors of the flag of her childhood homeland with its fields of gold stretching beneath the blue of the sky • Marjorie Gaunt © 2009
