pack reality
to fit snugly on shoulders
bid mountains adieu

burger cooked with guilt
to meet misbehaving girls
and her stressed-out face

later, block party
personal chefs, burglar cams?
i miss the aspens

with ice cream melting
i say, we should have done this
before we had kids

it’s because of me
(took my boy from Tennessee)
silent acceptance

they fight over pics
wish they could climb those boulders
too many, too rough

pack reality
in a weekend backpack trip
you’ll disturb demons
