A Bluebird Afternoon

so simple, really:

the teens play cabin boardgames

while we ski for love

Colorado Dreamscape

my weekend frenzy

with a pink sunrise startup

ending with a tree

Birthday Painting

a new coat of paint

and rearranged furniture

can change your outlook

Middle Childhood

to celebrate love:

she’s fifteen on the fifteenth

surrounded by stars

From the Bar

cracked convenience sign

lighting the struggling tree

our city’s backdrop

Unseasonable

trapped in October

a winter snowfall gets lost

among leafy trees

my dog doesn’t care.

he loves snow as he loves me:

unequivocally

sometimes his love hurts

so pure is his devotion

(unreturnable)

like these autumn leaves

that can never give the tree

what it gave to them

Dream House. Dream Fire. Dream Husband.

in warm October

you will find his love for me

as in all seasons

Filled with Light

moon day on Monday

because the sunrise is pink

but not quite enough

Mount Bierstadt

first: the moon and sun

second: 8.5 miles

third: a fourteener

fourth: pomapoo strength

fifth: learning to climb mountains

sixth: altitude high

5:30, Mama??

pooped out each morning

pup is tired of school days

only one month in!
