Three Crosses

Three crosses
like three Valentines on the hill
flourishing on a green stage
reminding

fifty miles farther
into the Virginias, three crosses
like three birds on a branch
gazing down, singing

thirty miles towards Ohio, three crosses
like three grace notes
in the symphony of sheltering trees
calling

a small white wooden cross
plastic flowers, a name and a date
steps from the highway
buckle up

a palm frond cross
hangs from the mirror
my hand floats to my throat, a silver cross
saving me from myself

That's really beautiful. Did you get my email?

Hiya! I just noticed your comment on my other blog. I re-sent the email ... it's coming from my "themoohaa" email, so maybe it's in your junk mail?

Also, my book is now for sale... check my blog for details.
