a beautiful drive
where we even saw a moose
brings us to Seward


cabin in the woods
will be our home for four nights
peaceful, idyllic

paddle-boarding salt
first time the three of us
(includes SUP)


shopping in the sun
on this quirky “spit” boardwalk
summer in Homer


time is running out
before i am alone here
soaking up smiles

an Al-Can drive day
with glacial lakes and mountains,
ever-curving road

Mt. St. Elias
makes her stunning appearance
along the Al-Can

we follow rivers
all the way to Kluane
where a new lake shines

enchanted lava
creates unique swimming pools
otherworldly


infinity pools
so twenty-first century
simply don’t compare


a touch of snowfall
brings beauty to commuting
and calms my heartache

my name in Dari
made for me by my student
language: such a gift

ski day reverie
filled with powder grins,
soft turns, silent flakes
always a long day
yet happiness takes its time
falling from the sky
