out of the house

my breath behind the mask -

measures of distance

NEW YEAR  VISIT

my son visits
he's wearing his glasses
i'm wearing mine
❧✿❧
my son visits
i wish him happy new year
a year two weeks old

he's wearing his glasses
he has grown a beard
he likes plain black masks

i'm wearing mine
my glasses that is
i got a new pair
...
my son visits
after the rain this morning
a welcome surprise

i wish him happy new year
just a pat on the back
no hugs

a year two weeks old
 Christmas decor put away
angel on the door
...

he's wearing his glasses
they look new but they're not
they're just clean

he has grown a beard
i spy a few grey ones
in there

he likes plain black masks
not me
i luv all the designs
...

i'm wearing mine
not my mask
my glasses

my glasses that is
my movie watching buddies
wear them i must

i got a new pair
got a spray and cloths as well
to clean them

    mask elas-tics
    tangles of my glass-tics
    finger lash-tics

    __ The many, many times... that my fingers and eye glass arms (ear-stics?), get woven into one... by my "mask elas-tics." Smiles! _m
