What Might Make It Better
I want to call you and tell you
that I actually am
losing my vision–so I’ve just
been told–
I want to hear
how worried that makes you,
which would somehow allow me to say, dismissively,
“don’t worry,”
that all
will be okay.
Though actually I wouldn’t tell you
about my troubled vision
if you were still alive,
not wanting to worry you.
Oh, how I miss not telling you
what I would not.

And, to change the sad subject, I am also happy to announce that I have published a new children’s novel, called Doggone! This is a sequel to Dogspell and also involves Seemore, the highly talented dog, and his sidekick, Sally; illustrated by yours truly. Available on Amazon but am happy to send free copies to anyone who wishes to review!
