sunday shines again
with warm spring air and
st. veronica bells on christopher street.
tea sits on the table
with past tea times not far behind
and passed souls
sitting in my heart
while a persistent black cat
claws my leg
for tea too.

we listened to first unitarian of brooklyn's palm sunday service and then i spent the day knitting and connecting with denise bayron's wave of change shawl/blanket knit-a-long (both via zoom) while greg went for a bus ride/walk to the lower east side and chanda rested in bed (she's had the flu . . the home covid test she took turned negative).
it's a pretty day with the sun hiding behind clouds and then poking out bright and cheery. i was inspired by lorraine on the knit-a-long zoom to write two poems . . which feels good as its been a long time . . and i'm writing while listening to a beautiful first u of brooklyn song from march:
Ha, the cat is Pluto! Pretty! And the cookies do look like Christmas :). Do people still wear masks in church?
ReplyDeletePluto is always hungry :P Yes, everyone in church wears a mask. Reverend Ana and whomever is speaking remove their masks briefly.
DeleteHere, some people do and some don't, but most people don't anymore.
DeleteMost people don't here either . . but I find many of the places I go to (or watch) require it - like church and the health food store and the Met Museum. Stores are not requiring masks and certainly not all the restaurants (fortunately, it's the time of year when doors and windows are left open). My local yarn store was supposed to have two indoor get togethers this month, but the owner cancelled them because of the rising cases.
DeleteI think the numbers here are falling again and in Germany they are finally also falling. Our county at home has more cases again, but only have about 50% first time vaccinations.
DeleteLove the poem Dorina sending much love to you all and I hope Chanda is feeling a little better ❤️❤️
ReplyDeleteThank you San! Chanda is doing better, though she still has a lot of congestion.
