birthday table sacred conversation
rejoicing,
the teacher recalls the scent of her Mother’s kitchen
click, click, the iris mouth his camera
the rattle of his ribcage bracelet
two blonde Bodhisattvas, a banquet of banquette,
under a man’s hat, a story, the child’s understanding of Death
a Brooklyn baseball cap and diamond earring, next to
the tall and slim, pink bangs birthday girl chatting across to
the dancer of future birth next to the birthday boy
sipping luscious olive oil, eating eggplant lasagna
speaking of forays, farms and foraging
My beer is dark and gluten-free
appreciating, pass it around
Nuala, the Goddess, looks on with warm love eyes
