(Un)Developed Developments

school online again

i hate how we all suffer

with no leadership

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.

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

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?

Corona Caution

a bike ride downtown

to this perfect patio

almost like old times

Road Trip 2020, Day Three

nothing like my park

and isn’t that so perfect?

vines, dogs, shade, creeks, peace.

nothing like my path

and isn’t that so perfect?

sun, hills, curves, town, bike.

Road Trip 2020, Day Two

not what i dreamed of

for our family vacation;

pretty all the same

you wouldn’t believe

how fire Kentucky is

sunsets, family, all

Coronatine, Day Eighty-eight

this is our family

working through each glittered pic

and this quarantine

Coronatine, Day Eighty-seven (8 minutes, 46 seconds)

masked protesters

stand in vigilant silence

since Black Lives Matter
