a boy of few words
so happy for a costume
(his childhood lost)


a boy of few words
so happy for a costume
(his childhood lost)


reaching for sunrays
as all Coloradoans
(my tropical babe)

we finally caved
and gave Seinfeld our money
we just need to laugh

head down, overwhelmed:
it’s hard to make solutions
for his new world

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

first zucchini bread
(waiting for winter like me)
the sweetest present

true… at forty-two
i shouldn’t still have this hair.
but i do. i do.

my dog runs wild
nothing but joy in his heart
oh, to capture it
from smoky skies to ice
all the devil’s handiwork
(Earth in humans’ grip)

after the sun sets
stars put on their midnight show
in dark sky country
