Recipe for contentment

to hold my Miyajima bowl
- fit perfectly in my hand -
think only of my father
and his Sayonara memories

forget the bigger bowl of the set
my step-mother kept
not grieve for my father's
signet ring my aunt took when he died

retail therapy has only
limited effect to fill the hurt
- and space at home
is running out -


be glad for all I have
for Brian and all he does
above all, stop this envy
and be satisfied
