Sweeter than Baked Goods

most don’t write for me

it must be a blue moon day

and i am so blessed

No Spades Here

cards always unite

no matter the game’s language

laughter translates all

Brunchayuno

where shall we begin?

by building community

wherever we can

On Tiptoes

a scary moment

can instantly change to love

if you choose your words

Cracked

sometimes darkness wins

in the midst of a school day

until we find light

replaceable glass

that shatters understanding

as we question all

Day 24

my son shares his home

with diagonal slices

of sweet plátanos

2020 Vision

road trip, adjusted:

no Canadian journey

([s]miles with our son)

That Would be Us

after everything

he asked if he could stay here

with his new family

Sunday Reflections

the pic of the day:

shattered shards of icy glass

in a parking lot?

a partner ski date

with never-gets-old peak views

and perfect powder?

or my son’s bracelet

two weeks into this new life

we’re building from scratch?

it’s my dilemma:

choosing the best words, pictures

to capture this life

Mi Orgullo

volunteering time

and baking for her sisters

my lovely youngest
