all arguments end
with a smooth lake and mountains
(just enjoy the view)

a roaring river
inaptly named Stillwater
brightens my morning


a glamping cabin
ends a drive past mountains, lakes
heaven, Montana



drive through Wyoming
until you reach this heaven
that is Montana




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

Colorado hikes:
definition of summer
plush with Columbines


my childhood home
with trees my parents planted
taller than our lives


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?
a lazy lake day
calmer than a quarantine
peace (so far from peace).



a bike ride downtown
to this perfect patio
almost like old times


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
