poem Honoring Sally Albiso
by friend Ruth Marcus


MY POET FRIEND

when a friend’s smile splays
across the morning sky—
an invitation to play, rearrange
an attitude, and I ask why

why did you leave so soon—
and a cloud drifts by
over the setting blue moon before
I can wipe tears from my eyes

you left too soon, surely
more tea would have
held you, spooned you
in the arms of that morning...

Sally was an artist of language that a true artist composes from words. Her voice lives in her generous, wise, and moving poems that witness the vagaries of this difficult, sorrowful, and joyous world. Be with the first light we feel at dawn before we see it, dear friend. I am honored to have known you.

My condolences to Sally's husband, family and friends. I will remember Sally for her love of writing and reading poetry, and the pleasure she enjoyed knowing her work was published. Bless her heart.
