What Wasn’t Said

book club getaway:

everything you can picture

(a rich man’s world)

all the hikes and views

we could only hope to own

with our simple steps

The Golden Gate

just one hour out

you can shed your city life

for backpacking dreams

best friends forever

no continent can destroy

the love they have built

hailstorm destruction

ten minutes of hell falling

ruin to garden

my oldest happy?

so hard for me to earn now.

worth every penny.

backpacking with dog:

sudden hailstorm brings frenzy

of dirt-rolling wash
