from smoky skies to ice
all the devil’s handiwork
(Earth in humans’ grip)
Sayonara, Mi Jardín
humanity
Remotely Burned
endless tabs open
Google Meets tries to cheer us
but we’re stuck on screens
Making It Work
remote learning sucks
except with a cat or mat
how we love our home
Burned
ten minutes of rain
won’t wash away the fires
in mountains, in souls
Fire and Ice
water still as ice
while wildfires choke sky
with climate change breath
August Coronatine Accomplishments
oldest in college
(concurrent enrollment win)
(can remove spiders)
youngest wants hair cut
just in time for her birthday
my new career–ha!)
Coronatine Revamped
Zoom meetings drain me
but how sweet these tomatoes
and basil, with love
Note to Path-Following Cyclists
please shout, “On your left!”
while passing pedestrians
(also cyclists)
i know that you can.
don’t pass me as i pass peds
(don’t be an assbike)
Cool Down. Breathe.
these summer rainstorms
bring breezy joy to hot days
(save us from the drought)
my former student
once a refugee herself
now teaches me hope
making me these masks
so i can mouth English words
as when i taught her
(Un)Developed Developments
school online again
i hate how we all suffer
with no leadership
