sometimes a small bloom
from a broken, displaced plant
is all a day needs
even its roots wait
patiently in their soil
basking in the sun

our ski season ends
with bluebird jumps and peak views

No Breaks Here

March 29, 2021 / firmlov / Leave a comment
spring break adventures:
walking two dogs, badminton.
so exciting, right?
the cat disagrees.
scared halfway up a light pole,
she scratched her way down.
it’s not all hardship.
rarely will this boy smile.
yet, for weightlifting.

just for you, for you.
