Two woman, Anita Holzberg and Ann Wainwright met over the internet with Bill Costley,
their common friend, whose wife Carolin had been Ann's good friend. Starting in
June '09, Anita sent a Cupcake poem to Ann's website cakecakecake, after seeing
the photo of cupcakes. The poem was about her grandson's first birthday party. Ann
liked that and it was the start of a wonderful exchange of poems from Anita to Ann and
Ann with color, photos, and lay-out savvy, presented them to the blog. Now, in 2010,
the two women so alike in spirit and interests, have started BetweenFriends, a new blog
site where they can combine ideas about their worlds. Ann lives in Northern UK
(Teesside). Anita lives in Northern California, Sunnyvale, (Silicon Valley where all the
computers are.) We share our lives on this blog and hope you will comment and share
yours too, dear readers and enjoy the "ride".

Picchu. "Come In" - Anita Holzberg

In this still night
where the wildlife plays
outside
when the temperature goes way down
Picchu comes in
sleeps on my bed
she loves the new quilt

In this still night
where waxing and waning
of
what is
looms
what was far behind

You said "I love you" today
to me
all the days before pale
all the hopes ride on this phrase

Last year a movie and a simple dinner for
Valentine's Day was our menu
This year another day at the hospital
waiting for tubes to leave is our present
and intensive rehab to begin

I can not fast forward
I can only stay in the present
every day another step
another nuance of
recovery for You

The mad hatter of the mind
goes nowhere
only the still night
beckons
I will get Picchu
here
to spend the night
as you sometimes did
a black tuxedo cat
company and entertainment
that's what I need
"Come in Picchu, Come in."
