I've had this poem up for decades 
out in our woodshed 
because it's good to laugh
when you're working hard

URSULA K. LE GUIN ~ (So Far So Good)








Theodora


I think how fine my mother was.

Her doings and her things were lovable.

Her turquoise bracelets, her violet

dinner dress with a jeweled waist.

The way when she was undressing

she'd go around with her nylons unhitched.

I think of all this now with tenderness

and comfort in the recollection.



Oh I was so angry at her when she died

for dying, but at last that's gone

and she comes to me again with silver

and turquoise on her wrists

in the sunlight.
