Musings and observations by Mary P. Pettigrew

I.
Texas heat rising
To wilt my body and mind -
Ice cube necklace soothes.



II.
My village is odd
Sharing fences with strangers –
Yet, we smile and wave.



III.
Buzz buzz of junebugs
On their backs, my cat torments –
Feline soccer game.



IV.   (version 1)
Divine are the songs
Music takes away my pain
Revealing the joy.



V.   (version 2)
Divine are the songs
The music dissolves the pain
Reveals only joy.



VI.
Jazzy in genre’
Her trumpet explains passion -
Shania be her name.



VII.
Miles Davis blows mean
Coltrane and Bird express pain –
Their body and soul.



VIII.
Breathe me
Spit me out
Inhale once more
