one day at a time
I’ll win back my little one
(no longer little)
love
Holding On
a soft Saturday
to soften life’s hard edges
with kindness and calm
Sludge
my life in a meal:
always trying for the pic
always missing it
(Im)permanence
this choice will break me no matter what i decide. so i should decide.
Ski Date
snow like stardust
sparkling in morning light
to begin our day
Never Gets Old
almost all love skis
and that’s enough for today
that, and fresh powder

Almost a year ago, we invited this boy home for Christmas because he was living in a youth shelter.
We brought him downtown to see this beautiful tree.

Here we are, standing under these same lights. And aren’t they still beautiful?
Quarantine Scenario #437
hidden behind mask
is my sixteen-year-old girl
(her pandemic grin)
i hope to win her
with walks, drives, conversations
just like the old days
Just Three Words
Vamos a ganar
with this American map
he knows nothing of
every moment counts
and he has read my soul here
with these three small words
Cherish Them
these fleeting moments
shared with a stencil of love
between my daughters
