here we are again

trapped between closed doors

in the midst of darkness
after weeks of moment-by-moment loss
today we have a win
a Green Card on the horizon
of this young man’s dreams
i want the cute cat
and not the cracked-up pavement
through the broken woods
it's almost over
(we say goodbye tomorrow)
for now, there's a view
my baby's driving
(i can't believe she's fifteen)
and finding her way
the youngest’s birthday
(an early celebration)
before big sis leaves
Toy Story 3. Now.
i could carry the bag out
and cry all morning
a toy, a trigger?
my girl is off to college.
(this is no cartoon).
and so he will stay.
though i know she will leave me.
each grinning their truth.
with a perfect score
my youngest surprises me
(she’s ready to drive)
like this worn-out dog
i have nearly given up…
yet, i’m a Taurus.
and so i garden
though it, too, is a failure
stolen by flowers
this year’s loss, in pics:
weeds and grass and tearing out
for one little heart
