Once in a while...
my lampshades need a little cleaning
when just dusting won't do...
a mixture of vinegar and baking soda...
and a soft scrub brush will do the trick
gentle does it...
a soft rinse with the hose...
and hung up on the line to dry
as for the doves...
they sit in the papaya tree and sneak in some curious (cautious?) glances...
pretending they don't notice I'm there
preening, snoozing, keeping watch
May the Lord bless you with a sweet day, or night
