most don’t write for me
it must be a blue moon day
and i am so blessed


most don’t write for me
it must be a blue moon day
and i am so blessed


cards always unite
no matter the game’s language
laughter translates all


where shall we begin?
by building community
wherever we can

a scary moment
can instantly change to love
if you choose your words

sometimes darkness wins
in the midst of a school day
until we find light

replaceable glass
that shatters understanding
as we question all
my son shares his home
with diagonal slices
of sweet plátanos

road trip, adjusted:
no Canadian journey
([s]miles with our son)

after everything
he asked if he could stay here
with his new family
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


volunteering time
and baking for her sisters
my lovely youngest
