Fourteen years ago on this Hallowed Eve you joined ancestors and fellow poets, traveling through time, and into God's light. Always one to find meaning in your days, perhaps you chose your last one too, even after months of summoning all the bravery within you. Honoring both saints and magical living especially in our childhood, even a velvet mermaid's tail embroidered with shining sequins manifested in your deft and giving hands. You are always with us now, Ma/Patt even as you are always missed. Today, your long auburn hair that never turned white tumbles over a deep blue satin costume, embroidered with silvery stars. Your generous, enduring smile is so at home, beloved Ma, in the Heavenly company of God's own angels.

Your Starry Costume
