Five Things At My Desk, January 14th, 2001

A shell that looks like a butterfly.
My mother used to collect them
   and place them on the windowsills
And every time she would pass them
   she would tap them lightly and
   set them to fluttering...

Ethel, my cat.
She sits by my side when I am at my desk.
She is my administrative assistant,
   periodically filing papers onto the floor.
I lean over to put my face in her fur.

An old photo of Rodney Heft holding the baby Lisa.
She is in a fluffy dress and is sucking on a finger.
She looks hesitant and shy.
My, how she's grown.
Still loves her daddy.

An illustration of three horses.
Colored pencils on yellow grid paper.
An early Lisa Heft,
   drawn by the daughter at her father's drafting table.

A photo of Laurel, Rick and I.
We are in their red kitchen
Warm and relaxed and showing the beautiful plates of food
   Nuran has cooked for us.
Warm food, warm friendship.

Family surrounds me.
