PLAYING JACKS
August 11, 2020
Patsy's death
Sitting on floor playing jacks,
So enjoyable, so pleasurable.
Now I’m thinking of my family
which was like playing jacks.
Each jack stone
an individual family member.
We would cluster together
in parent’s hands
Then disperse
Then back gathered together.
Now my oldest sister has passed.
The separated jack stone
Gathered close in gatherings
like jack stones used to be.
Gathered together close
in the palm of Zoom.
Then we will scatter
like scattering jack stones.
