15 poets read from SGVPQ 49



CaLokie

EVERY FIRST IS THE HARDEST

Karoyn sits at table
Chocolate cake with circle
of 74 candles atop
appears

then David
“Howya be, Sweet Pea,”
he greets wife
of 49 years

She sings “Happy Birthday”
He blows on the 74
All but one
light

She drinks coffee from cup
he gave her
Cries some
Smiles some
