Infusion

Toni Morrison has died
Beloved,  The Bluest Eyes  are calling
awareness, remember
what you know, have learned

a teacher is gone, another
coming forth to reinforce can
you hear her?   do you see her?

life's passages, cycles of hope
despair,  always better
love infused.

infusions  available
smiles walking on streets,
dancing anywhere, anytime
playing with a dog
a child,  or your partner,
laughing, noticing, celebrating
difference,

I want to meet the
courageous ( in Collingwood) couple
whose's skirts at
jazz in the park
wore gender ambiquity
hand in hand

continuous drips
in strangers, in flowers,
clouds, rain showers, friends,

infusions required, received
love renewed
