water still as ice
while wildfires choke sky
with climate change breath
oldest in college
(concurrent enrollment win)
(can remove spiders)
youngest wants hair cut
just in time for her birthday
my new career–ha!)
only this sunrise
shaped by feared wildfires
could make these strange scenes
how couldn’t you love
living amongst these sunsets?
set by fire, love.
you’ll never see light
like these Friday night lights, love.
you’ll see handlebars.
we win with bike lanes.
with the illusion of truth.
with blue skies and heat.
Zoom meeting hell day
computers that will not work
need zucchini love
Zoom meetings drain me
but how sweet these tomatoes
and basil, with love
cucumbers are here!
and what better potatoes
than purple, from home?
you can’t get this far
without climbing some mountains
oh, but the aspens.
perfect Denver view
endless miles of transit
and of course, my bike
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.
