Kentucky cycles:
you can find happiness in
rolling hills, horse farms



Kentucky cycles:
you can find happiness in
rolling hills, horse farms



nothing like my park
and isn’t that so perfect?
vines, dogs, shade, creeks, peace.


nothing like my path
and isn’t that so perfect?
sun, hills, curves, town, bike.



not what i dreamed of
for our family vacation;
pretty all the same


you wouldn’t believe
how fire Kentucky is
sunsets, family, all


Kansas welcomes us
for our pandemic travel
and his first crossing


here we are swimming
like the pandemic has stopped
on the paddle board

screech owls in our park
cycling through the city
quarantine summer


this is our family
working through each glittered pic
and this quarantine


masked protesters
stand in vigilant silence
since Black Lives Matter



magic pupusas
like play dough for my nieces
home cooked by my son



side of garden leaves,
fresh cut perfect peonies,
beauty from our home

hiking out hurts us
(to face the world’s anger
instead of these trees)
