Dear God Will you be with me when I die? Were you there with my mother? She died in an ambulance with an attendant who prayed for her as she left her life behind. She did not die alone. Jews are not supposed to die alone. But how does one have any say in that? How is there any control over that moment? Is there a choice? I choose to die now. Not later. Not tomorrow. Now. Unless I pull the trigger my choice is a moot point. My mother did not choose her time to die. Or maybe she did. But she was not alone. And perhaps. Just perhaps. You God were there too. © Karen Casady 2019

inevitable

inevitable the cat returns not from whence she came but from where she will be  a place where she has been before and now again she strives to fit in with finesse unique unto her  booting beings around her into spinning lackluster orbits that collapse and slink away while she  switches and swats for amusement and  satisfaction as she settles in wherever she so desires making contentment look easy © Karen Casady 2019

humanity

onward forward backward sideways head long brings up the rear faces front trail sweep never leads leader never looks back keep it going the line swells recedes gross as it undulates slight as it retreats  the whole of humanity balled up into one sucked through a straw spat out as eternal trash © Karen Casady 2019

disparate

Image
just like a dream  the words disappear wisps they float away caught up a current lurches picks them up letter by letter now disparate now illegible reamed into utter nonsense  flattened by mortar  and pestle  rolled into a ball dough pounded baked burned kicked aside to hover in the corner ©Karen Casady2019

sleep

tension is harmful sleep is restorative eyes close deep healing breaths filtering tendrils of comfort trickle into your belly soothe the soreness meditative droplets mizzle through your gut relieve the ache relax the disquiet  soon sleep replaces fretful awakeness sending you off on a journey of muddled dreams forgotten but for a stray afternoon thought that hovers for a moment before flitting away again © Karen Casady 2019
