views from nearby walks
are all we have at this time
to get us through this
Coronatine, Day Fifteen
exercise
Coronatine, Day Ten
here are my children
throwing frisbees in the park
(they’ve never done this)
quarantine, day nine:
presidential rampages,
orders to stay home
just look at my son:
showing pup what he can do
with our family
card and board games win
(break news cycle doom and gloom)
We WILL get through this.
Coronatine, Day Four (At Least There’s a Dog)
we survived day four
(survival: tears, backtalk, cards)
now it’s day by day
Rest in Powder
powder has called out
waking us on Sunday morn
a soft, silent church
A Bluebird Afternoon
so simple, really:
the teens play cabin boardgames
while we ski for love
Mount Bierstadt
first: the moon and sun
second: 8.5 miles
third: a fourteener
fourth: pomapoo strength
fifth: learning to climb mountains
sixth: altitude high
Front Range Burnout
a weekend hiking
is the only proper way
to enjoy summer
Road Trip 2019: Day Seventeen, Red Sunrise
red sun, glassy lake
paddling with the puppy:
perfect lakehouse day
Road Trip 2019: Dakotas, Day Two
from flat Dakota
emerges a river trail
hard on legs and kids
but water wins views
however it meanders
giving life to all
What Wasn’t Said
book club getaway:
everything you can picture
(a rich man’s world)
all the hikes and views
we could only hope to own
with our simple steps
