Two Poems

by Carol Nelson

The Chinese altar          Trash picked on a winters day,          Off the sidewalk, outside the restaurant,          Surely dedicated,          To the god          Mono So Deium          Glutimate.                      ---------------------          So,          You are sick and I am old.          Older than you will ever be.          ... and I thought one day          I might go back,          To that place where you once spoke to me.          And knock...and knock,          Until I call you out.
