Recipe for Loss
motherhood snippets:
a brilliant purple houseplant
captured in glory
molé for the win?
another failed recipe
to exhaust my soul
oh, but the chocolate
hidden behind the bright beads
of sesame seeds
her anxiety
so present, prescient, painful
and i cannot win
Trail Happy
my adventurer
who poops out for the ride home
so cute either way
Quarantine Restaurant
tonight’s dinner win:
Hungarian paprikash
with homemade spätzle
But I’m so Cute
dear Daddy: i’m here.
pay attention to me, please.
(love you more than food)
Never. Ends.
today’s word: defeat
i should have stayed on pillows
and accepted it
Tikka Masala for the Win
it is not easy
to replicate restaurants
alas, we shall try
this quarantine brings
a new love for my kitchen
(lucky to have it)
even Bruce ate it
without a single worry
(there was no curry!)
Even Kitty Creates Art
my little artist
(not so little anymore)
always new designs
creating Christmas
from the tree to ornaments
all hand-made with love
Senior Year Milestone One
dream school acceptance
in the midst of this nightmare
that’s 2020
what next, i wonder?
how will we survive all this
with all that we face?
the box comes early
before breath has settled us
into this next step
Love Growls
pup got his hair cut
and is a grinning puff ball
though he is chagrined
