those flowers that you brought

they are on the red shoe memory altar dedicated to deb akers @book woman

susan post had a connection to/with deb unlike any other

cindy huyser loved via letters and kept connection

even to the suggestion that a reading of/for deb take place

on that louisiana bench deb wrote about in her poems

These ideas will happen-same as second thursdays continue at book woman

and borderlands readings are now APS  projects at twin oaks

and share your stories still continues at twin oaks with ralph hausser

and the childrens anthology at aipf still needs people

to fill her work requires more than a few

to volunteer for aipf and make good happen

Each reading dedicated to she who made so many work for us

(Expressions November 5 another remembrance)

To be alive is an act of love and free will

We remember Deb-your flowers ,red shoes,Borderlands,candles,poetry,smiles...

ascendant

walking this morning around the block

look UP!@Mother Muse Moon(still drunk!

she had attracted a large planet 

that was beaming and flirting in relationship

between the gravity of the situation.

and the free form relationship of open spaces

Logically,i know we are all in relationship

that moon and stars are walking distances around my block

that i could just reach up and pluck 

an apple moon from this morning tree

I called that bright planet DEB AKERS

knowing that is where she would want to be

O EPISTOLARIANS!

You who wrote to her 

sent cards and letters to her

reminded her that she who loved so well and smilingly

was beloved privately.Well,she 

had your cards and letters in  a box

in front of her sitting chair when she could not move

and she would read and re-read your love

and look at photographs and art you sent

and know you close as friends

On her shelf,to her left,so ponderous with books

copies of RED SHOES published by Elzy

She held these precious as your art

reminded her she was a part 

of all your works and play

You gave her smiles on her way.
