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.
