she swallows
a sharp retort

retirement party
sharing fruit punch
spiked with lies
another day
with nothing to do
moss-covered millstone
thinner
day by day
autumn woods
all that’s left
in the bait bucket –
a pelican’s breath
moving day
a pink flamingo peeks
from the trash
lab report …
in my sister’s voice
winter rain
covid summer
recycling
travel brochures
rush hour
a cross-hatch
of contrails
no one left
who remembers …
memorial day
moonrise
a bullfrog
greets the dog star
slow rain …
by a roadside cross
a spray of silk roses
