Radiant Sun Splashed By Susan Isla Tepper

   (In Loving Memory of Karen Friedland)

Another death has come 

to call

despite the trees abloom

and daffodils riotous in the grass.

Her house looks so pretty

in the pictures.

The front porch rejuvenated

sparkles—

and the neat backyard’s  

brick pathway, 

flowering beds along the fence.

Inside, every little corner. 

Tucked with cuttings 

the bright pots painted 

by some brave hand

in some land.

When I saw the picture

of her new kitchen floor—

radiant sun splashed

I felt a positivity

come ringing at her door.
