Undertaking by Susan Shea

Nina Baldwin from her Women Gathering series
from her website

 

That gathering was a downpour
of easygoing, so why did I see
too many wanting sunbeams

why did I feel drained

when it was over, watching
the hostess sweep the floor,
maybe hoping we might get
the hint that it was time
to move along
like all good fragments

Susan Shea is a retired school psychologist who was raised in New York City, and now lives in a forest in the mountains of Pennsylvania.  Her poems have been accepted by Ekstasis, Across the Margin,  Feminine Collective, New English Review, and others.
