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
Friday Night Lights (x2)
summer
Your Garden Daily
zucchini tonight:
soon to be my life story–
sweet stuffing, hard shell
Burned
ten minutes of rain
won’t wash away the fires
in mountains, in souls
Fire and Ice
water still as ice
while wildfires choke sky
with climate change breath
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!)
Too Hot to Believe
only this sunrise
shaped by feared wildfires
could make these strange scenes
Free Fire
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.
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?
