with paper and paint



my paper artist
finished her first high school art
with paper and paint



a small but huge goal
to exercise every day
for a solid year

the garden goes on
far into September nights
when i make salsa


and another quiche
made by my girl while canning
consumed my evening

fall aspens: golden
it’s worth the annual drive
and finding our path



small measures of growth
found in homework submitted
and cut junipers



could we win it back?
the country that we have lost?
trimmed, but at what cost?
i just want waffles
covered in candied berries
not today’s bad news


a boy of few words
so happy for a costume
(his childhood lost)


reaching for sunrays
as all Coloradoans
(my tropical babe)

we finally caved
and gave Seinfeld our money
we just need to laugh

head down, overwhelmed:
it’s hard to make solutions
for his new world
