Kindness and Absent Friends

Kindness

 

   It costs nothing does it, kindness that is ..

So why do so many avoid, or ignore it

   and act like they are pulling their own teeth ..

 

Absent Friends

 

I notice there are

red berries

on the trees again

this autumn

and in such great

   abundance ..

But no wax-wings

to cull them

nor any squirrels,

bullfinches,

   or other rodents ..

Last winter,

was hard on them

   too my love ..
