Road Trip 2020 (Montana, Day Three)

all arguments end

with a smooth lake and mountains

(just enjoy the view)

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

The Cooler Fits

kids will never know

how much planning is involved

in any road trip

one day they will see

the weeks of planning, packing

to fill-up this car

Pockets of Hope

Colorado hikes:

definition of summer

plush with Columbines

Grown Not Flown

my childhood home

with trees my parents planted

taller than our lives

Cilantro (Culantro)

he corrected me

even though it’s in Spanish

white buds. so pretty.

‘no’ is a new word

yet so familiar to me.

so adolescent.

we’ll see where this goes.

a flat road to nowhere fast?

or the sky, endless?

We Can Pretend

a lazy lake day

calmer than a quarantine

peace (so far from peace).

Corona Caution

a bike ride downtown

to this perfect patio

almost like old times

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
