(Un)Developed Developments

school online again

i hate how we all suffer

with no leadership

So Hot. So Worth It.

a hike can’t save us.

the heat seems to want us dead.

but the masks? yes. yes.

all the Boulderites.

they get it. even on trails.

why is it so hard?

you could have this view.

away from the pandemic.

if you’d just listen.

Coronatine Victory Garden

a small victory

using my hands to plant peas

as they fought spring snow

as they outgrew me

using my hands to pick peas

during quarantine

they made two harvests

using my hands to shell peas

a small victory

We Can Pretend

a lazy lake day

calmer than a quarantine

peace (so far from peace).

Corona Caution

a bike ride downtown

to this perfect patio

almost like old times

There’s My Baby

a bike ride downtown

on a trail no longer closed

(to me, at least): joy

Road Trip 2020, Day Two

not what i dreamed of

for our family vacation;

pretty all the same

how fire Kentucky is

sunsets, family, all

Road Trip 2020, Day One

Kansas welcomes us

for our pandemic travel

and his first crossing

Coronatine, Day Eighty-nine

screech owls in our park

cycling through the city

quarantine summer

Coronatine, Day Eighty-eight

this is our family

working through each glittered pic

and this quarantine
