Trapped (Not Trapped)

sometimes i think: Hell.

twenty days of solid heat.

(Denver in summer)

and then i recall

our glorious altitude

and misty mornings

i will swim for views

only captured here at home

(Denver forever)

Friday Night Lights (x2)

what’s more beautiful—

this red, water-begging dawn

or my daughter’s grin?

each touched by showers

so desperate to soothe our souls

from this hellfire

August Coronatine Accomplishments

oldest in college

(concurrent enrollment win)

(can remove spiders)

youngest wants hair cut

just in time for her birthday

my new career–ha!)

Zucchini Therapy (Bless You, Barbara Kingsolver)

Zoom meeting hell day

computers that will not work

need zucchini love

Coronatine Revamped

Zoom meetings drain me

but how sweet these tomatoes

and basil, with love

Zucchini Has Friends

cucumbers are here!

and what better potatoes

than purple, from home?

Anniversary Climb

this mountain’s too steep

but i know he won’t turn back

he’d never turn back

twenty-two years in

we’ve climbed many a mountain

and have won each view

Still the One (Twenty-two Years)

you can’t get this far

without climbing some mountains

oh, but the aspens.

Cycle City

perfect Denver view

endless miles of transit

and of course, my bike

Colors of the Sky

we’re home now. screen time.

i want to keep the rainbow.

the perfect sunset pic.

the lake moon rising.

the soothing sound of tent rain.

just being. outside.
