Color Me Home

sometimes blue linings
found high above the city
make silver feel frail

Back of My Mind

the gray sky hovers
over our impending strike
as Portland rain drops

Portland Portal

a misty morning
and a river-bridging walk
saved by comfort food

On Deaf Ears

our union may vote
to strike down inequity
would anyone care?

Perspective

sometimes all i need
in this upside down world
is a puppy’s love

The Other Side of the Weekend

while blue collar job
asks my man to work weekends
we boil brushes

(lice infestations
plague parents’ weekend free time
nit-picking nightmare)

Down to the Bone

paradoxes live
in snow interpretations:
naked and furry

Vegan Spice

trying for healthy

with a mix of minced ginger

(couscous for the win)

Unconditional

in the eyes of dogs
no love is ever enough
they give, give, and give

Resolution

second chance new year
we win with packed powder runs
and hope to move on
