Now, English?

just a year ago
i taught my boy how to ski.
(he learned in one day)

Puzzlegate

snow arrived today.
soft, slippery, it snuck in
and brought back this piece:
in the purple night
on our perfect patio
completion beckons.

Biked

a small redemption

when the pieces fit in place

so rarely perfect

My Mythili

one day at a time
I’ll win back my little one
(no longer little)

Holding On

a soft Saturday 
to soften life’s hard edges
with kindness and calm

(Im)permanence

this choice will break me
no matter what i decide.
so i should decide. 

(Re)solution

ironic notice

as the words come flooding in

(yet i can’t stop them)

no. i had no plan.

no plan for any of this.

(nor a solution).

It’s Been a Year…

and the wheels still spin

and we try and wish and blow

and hope for a change

Childrearing Forwarding

parenting problems

don’t end when the kids grow up

(they can still break you)

Colorado Born and Bred

Berthoud Pass driving

sisters learn two years apart

same day, different face
