The Endless Cycle
shooting aftermath:
AP testing in mid-June
for suburbanites
the gun’s reach has wrath
stretching fifteen miles south
of where my home is
they shuffle in, grin;
calculators, pens ready
for a number game
but they’re missing one,
his seat echoed in “thank-yous”
as they shuffle out
they are just children
trying to grow up and catch
the world’s beauty
my tires spin home,
the grey ponds reflecting love
i cannot give them
Summer Break
weekday hiking joys:
mostly-empty trails with dogs
who love each other
uncompromised views
of our blue-sky perfect peaks
and wildflowers
best of all? no work
to big down miles of fun,
of escapism
Spring Up
June blooms beg pictures
celebrating record bursts
(pro-quality plants)
if we visit pros
and take similar pictures
can you spot the change?
my yard is heaven
for botanical beauty
bloomed by a wet spring
Dog Days
dog adventure day:
dog parks to dog patios
to reign in summer
Broken Blossoms
life lived in moments
from crises to remedies
(one day’s event course)
broken cars and drains
cannot break twenty-one years
of kept promises
so let’s build fires
to burn the losses of life
and collars of hope
because even pup
knows how to tolerate pain
as peonies pop
Wait for It…
waiting for summer
as peonies slowly bloom
just after sunrise
Eid Mubarak
a sudden blossom
blooming for summer’s promise
and a New Moon feast
The Adolescence of My Motherhood
strawberry rhubarb
can’t save our relationship
no matter how sweet
i’ll have to find words
to fill the lattice loopholes
between bites of love
A Day at a Time
between this sunrise
painted so perfectly pink
and this steak dinner
lay a fasting day
of walking, planting, napping
fifteen days, hours
