oldest in college
(concurrent enrollment win)
(can remove spiders)
youngest wants hair cut
just in time for her birthday
my new career–ha!)
August Coronatine Accomplishments
dreams
Home Again
zucchinis have popped
my three-year-old magnet proves
that i have foresight
(go where your heart calls,
where those images beckon.
stand in waterfalls)
Road Trip 2020 (Montana, Day Two)
a roaring river
inaptly named Stillwater
brightens my morning
a glamping cabin
ends a drive past mountains, lakes
heaven, Montana
Road Trip 2020 (Montana, Day 1)
drive through Wyoming
until you reach this heaven
that is Montana
That Camp Life
scored a miracle:
thirty percent off this tent
the day i gave in
dream tent and dream house:
they go so well together
just like our family
Coronatine, Day Fifty-five
and from this soil
from blustery spring breezes
good news can blossom
Coronatine, Day Fifty-three
we flew this beach kite
on this day seven years back
(a dream in life, Spain)
my daughter, then ten
still finding joy in small things
(as i still try to)
aspen trees at dawn
a pup always by my side
cats learning to love
the kite is gone now.
(i have ransacked every room)
locked down, we let go.
But No One Seems to Care
i share Bernie’s view
of providing for the poor
so simple, so hard
The Mountains Have Called
we’re winning this day
even if it feels like loss
once we leave this slope
Ballots, Not Bullets
all the hope i have
rests in this fateful ballot
(can hope win the vote?)
