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 piñata
still swinging
in the wind
Bethlehem star
continues to show her way
the final performance
the aging diva takes
a second curtain call
