marriage anniversary
mom melts the old candles
together
Month: August 2021
soft winter sun softening the butter
winter rain
a blue bowl overflows
with clementines
he hawk flicks its tailatop the telephone pole–pelting winter rain
gathering dusk
i leave the old toys
at the thrift shop
receding hairline growing my collection of hats
my head
full of worries…
drooping sunflowers
picking wildflowers
she always takes things
literally
wild mushrooms
I kept on picking
the wrong man
she stakes out
her own path
climbing rose
the just-purple
of beach plums
a tern’s whistle
far love
the scent of apples
on the wind
autumn leaves falling for her
autumn afternoon
I bring a little honey to
a slow moving bee
some color
lost in the wash
autumn rain
deep autumn
the red in my hair
long gone
