Sweet Chariot

It was a secret singer
and had a soulful song.
It wrapped like wind

Imogene imagined.
When she slept

Only the cat, black with mysteries,
sees her fingers weave the air.

Penelope

Lady grey hair
your needles knit
and pearl the gloom,
drawing polished corners
of the room into mute
patterns and frayed...
