Emergence
Billie Dee and Deborah P Kolodji
lost glove
the woollybear curled
in its worn palm
a fuzzy cocoon
under the box spring
after the stroke
morning sun gleams
from the bed rails
voices beckon
from adjoining rooms
her soft pillow
physical therapist . . .
his praying-hands tattoo
silk sheets part
for that first unsteady step
tiger moth
Frogpond 45.3, Autumn 2022
