skiing is a dream
found in powdery wide slopes
in Colorado

New Year’s Eve
in 2019
Bruce learned to ski from up high
into a new life
in 2019
a drain drained our resources
and worsened our debt
in 2019
my girls adjusted again
to life’s challenges
in 2019
we were given the rare chance
to make a difference
in 2019
we traveled through the country
searching for ourselves
in 2020
we’ll make a better life
everywhere we go
Colorado Dreamscape
my weekend frenzy
with a pink sunrise startup
ending with a tree
Unseasonable
trapped in October
a winter snowfall gets lost
among leafy trees
my dog doesn’t care.
he loves snow as he loves me:
unequivocally
sometimes his love hurts
so pure is his devotion
(unreturnable)
like these autumn leaves
that can never give the tree
what it gave to them
Filled with Light
moon day on Monday
because the sunrise is pink
but not quite enough
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
Road Trip 2019: Day Eighteen, Ely
an Ely day trip
for a family pic, hike
a little shopping
Road Trip 2019: Day Seventeen, Red Sunrise
red sun, glassy lake
paddling with the puppy:
perfect lakehouse day
Road Trip 2019: North Dakota
i never listen
when someone says it’s boring
i always find fun
North Dakota wins
kindness, camping, paddling
and late-night sunsets
Earth lodge history
and indigenous genius
round out this cycle
with Art Deco touch
to capitalize the north
and give us this view
all in a day’s work:
this “boring” state makes dreams bright
campfires and all
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
