Rainbow Roots
of little promise
this underdeveloped root
(thought i’d just get blooms)
but underground joy
arrives when you keep digging
to find the rainbow
Solar Products
dawn clouds framing trees
parmesan zucchini, please

July Blooms (Why Yes, Carrots Bloom)
sunflowers, carrots
zucchini ready to burst
bring it on, summer
seltzer, zucchini,
cosmos invading background
what else says July?
So Hot. So Worth It.
a hike can’t save us.
the heat seems to want us dead.
but the masks? yes. yes.
all the Boulderites.
they get it. even on trails.
why is it so hard?
you could have this view.
away from the pandemic.
if you’d just listen.
Root Gold
in March, we built it.
Douglas Fir, organic soil
we placed it. waited.
in April, snow hit.
the harshest frost recorded
so late in the spring.
in May, leaves blossomed
flaunting for the cold world
their defiance.
in June, flowers bloomed
as pretty as peonies,
protecting their roots
in July, i dug
searching for gold in soft soil
and finding these gems
Coronatine Victory Garden
a small victory
using my hands to plant peas
as they fought spring snow
as they outgrew me
using my hands to pick peas
during quarantine
they made two harvests
using my hands to shell peas
a small victory
Pockets of Hope
Colorado hikes:
definition of summer
plush with Columbines
Corona Caution
a bike ride downtown
to this perfect patio
almost like old times
Vacationer’s Garden
peas above my head,
jalapeños and lettuce,
a nice welcome home
