Dante’s Angels
Dante’s Angels by Diana K. Lubarsky
i re-read Lubarsky’s Dante’s Angels
and laughed aloud again and again
and chuckle-sobbed at places
i hadn’t picked up on the first time
i could write a script for these
marvelous old ladies, but what
i really want is to see is them
interacting and grumbling over
each other in a small playhouse
maybe with re-arrangement
of the scenes, i can bring their pain
the joys, their solace and their courage
to more of us looking our own finality
in its whiskered chin, if not its eye
