Caregiver/ Retired/Poet
Always retired, Caregiver for wife
recovering from cancer, poet
comes first if I wake up early enough
order varies through the day depends
on how she feels & somedays “driver”
is on the list, for appointments, not
to overlook
“Laundry Man” and “Chief Cook.”
Somewhere in most days there is time
to read a poem, to start a poem like this.
Those days are my days.
James Higgins was born in Texas, lived there and in California at times, but has been in Oregon for over 40 years now. He has written mostly poetry most of his life. James had some wins and "places" in the Oregon Poetry Association a few years ago.
