Colorado roads:
beautiful mountain vistas
scarred by wildfires
Burned Trees and Snow
travel
Morning, Noon, and Night in Prescott
javelina hike
to a cactus-filled Thumb Butte
to start the morning
a Whiskey Row lunch
Watson Lake under blue skies
for the afternoon
my daughter’s new friends
soon to be her new roommates:
a perfect evening
Bucket List Day
Monument Valley:
the perfect sunrise rest stop
to light our faces
snow at Grand Canyon:
surprise bucket list side trip
to catch her snowfall
all three together:
it feels like a bucket list
to let them g(r)o(w)
Coronadas
a new Corona
three years after quarantine
back to wilderness
girls’ trip for spring break
to collect our Subaru
and meet our sister
miracle arches
connect the past and future
with hope for this life
Hold Up the Sky
your bucket list waits
for a ‘delicate’ sunset,
a breathtaking arch
your children await
at the top of a boulder
with the perfect view
a lifetime awaits
at the end of vacation
yet memories last
More-ab
Flowers for Futures
after four days off
(a vacation i needed)
what a perfect note
and the orchid blooms!
he bought her eight years ago
(just a baby then)
they were babies then
my daughters, their dolls, these blooms
(trying to find light)
now unstoppable
bursting with so many buds
(flowers for futures)
First Tracks
Heaven in Winter
Girls’ Weekend
post-pandemic flight
the first for me; with my girls
to steal a weekend
beautiful DC:
the center of our country,
sordid past exposed
a bar mitzvah morn
in year five-seven-eight-three
from our first beliefs
a city forest
walking distance from temple
Shabbat salom. Peace.
my happy daughters
finding books, happiness, love
on our girls’ weekend
