Downhill for the Uphill

December 31, 2020 / firmlov / Leave a comment

2020 ends

in the same way it began

(with downhill skiing)

2020 ends

nearly every way different

than a year ago

2020 brings

a balance of sorrow, joy

hidden behind masks

2020 ends

with screens controlling our lives

(searching for meaning)

2021

with its 5-syllable self

will bring us new hope

Garden Every Moment

instructions, really?

i’ll pour it into a pan

and hope for the best

zucchini: the best.

it will make anything work

(yes, like my husband)

can you imagine?

finding this at age nineteen?

this gem of a love?

why, yes, that’s a bloom

after a summer snowstorm

they both still love me
