drive through Wyoming
until you reach this heaven
that is Montana
Road Trip 2020 (Montana, Day 1)
summer
Coronatine Victory Garden
a small victory
using my hands to plant peas
as they fought spring snow
as they outgrew me
using my hands to pick peas
during quarantine
they made two harvests
using my hands to shell peas
a small victory
Pockets of Hope
Colorado hikes:
definition of summer
plush with Columbines
We Can Pretend
a lazy lake day
calmer than a quarantine
peace (so far from peace).
Corona Caution
a bike ride downtown
to this perfect patio
almost like old times
That Camp Life
scored a miracle:
thirty percent off this tent
the day i gave in
dream tent and dream house:
they go so well together
just like our family
Floating, Not Fleeting
summer beach farewell
to friends she’ll maintain for life
(love’s in her nature)
Road Trip 2020, Day Ten
that long Kansas road
alleviated by teens
learning to drive home
Road Trip 2020, Day Nine
tent without a fly
for another river day
flanked by swimming dogs
Road Trip 2020, Day Eight
along a river
this fairy tale ferry stop
has stood a beacon
in muddy waters
kids get to be kids all day
while mamas paddle
nature is our home
found in Kentucky fire
lit by desire
