love, in Portugal:
these perfect pastries, melted;
now just down the block
Pastry Heaven Surprise
poetry
Cilantro (Culantro)
he corrected me
even though it’s in Spanish
white buds. so pretty.
‘no’ is a new word
yet so familiar to me.
so adolescent.
we’ll see where this goes.
a flat road to nowhere fast?
or the sky, endless?
We Can Pretend
a lazy lake day
calmer than a quarantine
peace (so far from peace).
Corona Caution
a bike ride downtown
to this perfect patio
almost like old times
That Camp Life
scored a miracle:
thirty percent off this tent
the day i gave in
dream tent and dream house:
they go so well together
just like our family
There’s My Baby
a bike ride downtown
on a trail no longer closed
(to me, at least): joy
Floating, Not Fleeting
summer beach farewell
to friends she’ll maintain for life
(love’s in her nature)
Vacationer’s Garden
peas above my head,
jalapeños and lettuce,
a nice welcome home
Road Trip 2020, Day Ten
that long Kansas road
alleviated by teens
learning to drive home
Road Trip 2020, Day Nine
tent without a fly
for another river day
flanked by swimming dogs
