I am Bette..

and I am fine..

she speaks first

this her report

each Monday noon

when our group

Soup Salad Scripture

convenes to her

weekly de-light..

Visiting her home we

met precision and grace..

a white decor reflects

 her sun-lightened hair..

in her elevated space

we imagined the Peak

 closer than before..

her walls portray

her art fascination

a loving life partner

all in this Moment

times in Alaska

and the wide world..

with all this

she served us wine..

we know now

she is Bette

and she is fine...
