Dimmed Porch Light

by Carolyne Rohrig
and Carolyn Hall

frigid night
a dog howls
with the police sirens

beneath his dimmed porch light
last year's wreath

hospital monitor
mother's frail figure
on the bed

the empty piƱata
still swinging
in the wind

Bethlehem star
continues to show her way

the final performance
the aging diva takes
a second curtain call
