The worst thing there is
about having a birthday
is when it's over!

Seven years have passed,
and the moments we both shared
continue to last.

Once, it was flowers
signaling life's great blossum.
Now, it is silence!

Staying with a friend:
Listening to Joan Baez,
feeling inspired.

I have a church friend.
She objects to my earrings,
but she wears earrings.

Written on June 22, 2009, the fortieth anniversary of Judy Garland's death

40 years later:
She continues to leave us
in a loss for words.

AJ Chilson Mar 2013

Words cannot describe
the emptiness I carry
now that I'm alone.
