light through the cracks


vacation planning an albatross

hybrid family alligator wrestling new dynamics

fishing line moments of joy breaking free

roller coaster riding mood swings in the dark

even the mice are phony grand façade

the fear of drowning these rain-bedraggled worms

reflecting egret barely cracks the surface pool

sifting gold to mend the breaks kintsugi

Emergence


back-to-back another disagreement 

still not ready to drive home stubble field 

after the divorce I hear only robins 

two months single my spirits lifting mayflies 
​
returning the elm’s hole still empty promises
