a birthday ski day
followed by badminton, cake
and these perfect blooms
Bluebird Birthday
skiing
Spring Planting
ski season is done.
we’ll have to make do with yards
full of happiness.
Praise Powder
a Sunday ski day
is not equal to church time
(it's so much better)
The Day After
reality sits
between aspen dream ski runs
and running a house
Getaway Gold
aspen-lined gold runs
are what make Steamboat special
(we'll always be back)
a weekend with him
after all these years in love
sweet as fresh powder
Hold Tight
ski reality:
perfect, bluebird, line-less days
few and far between
Blue Skies and Snow (Refrain)
i am not here now
forever staring at screens.
i am here. on skis.
Naked and True
i’ll grasp this aspen
framed by its own starry night
when i need some peace
Little Girl Gone
my baby skiing
breaking my heart in these trees
(not such a baby)
she skis black diamonds
from the top of the mountain
to her mama’s soul
Steamboat: Gains and Losses
i'll write a haiku
as easy as this damn day
filled with lines. and love.
you will never know
how hard i've tried to earn this.
you can taste the snow.
you can taste blue sky.
it comes in moments, this love.
moments found on slopes.
