Altar flowers

I was named the recipient of the altar flowers this week.  They arrived at my door with a smile.  Of course.  And bear grass for the seizure cat, now sound asleep in the other room.  He has earned the sleep and has already begun to enjoy the bear grass when awake.  I am beginning to acclimate to the increased meds.

I received the altar flowers
On Tuesday
At home.
On Tuesday
I rearranged them
In the black olive vase.
The flowers even have
Bear grass
For the cat.
How thoughtful.
Today
One week out
I have begun
To see straight
Once again.
The flowers make an altar
Of the front table.
There are windows to the world
On either side,
The burning bushes green
Through the glass.
