My Mother’s Loss
The Loss of My Mother
was M(eye) Greatest Gain:
Her Cremation precipitated
by The Visitation
of The Dear Little Chickadee
embodying Her Spirit
precipitated My 4 Days
of No Sleep
leading 2 The Glory
of M(eye) Shower of Silver Lights —
The Experience Never 2 B TOPPED
or STOPPED
leaving Me
M(eye) Own Person
shared spiritually
by The One Man
Who saw It Coming.
