the cherry blossoms loom above us in a pink cloud–
they rain on the grass and the roads, and we walk upon the blushing petals, bruising them with our weight,
as the pup wears one on her wet nose

Petals
it’s always spring when you visit,
tucked just beneath that tender petal
Stringing Thoughts
bridges and boats
waving people on the Titanic
ancestors on long journeys
mothers holding babies
babies growing into teenagers
teenagers driving in cars
car shows in Ohio
corn stalks bending in the wind
shelling peas on porches
waving from a pontoon
a calm river in the evening light
bridges and boats
Determination
it was your quiet determination,
more than anything,
than stood in contrast to my indifference
I would like to be
i would like to be–
a random Tuesday in April
the thorns on growing vines
a defiant and beautiful weed
the moment before a whisper
a poem on the dog-eared page
the cold river current
The Wake
she treads water in the wake
Spring
after waiting for months,
it seemed like spring came upon us overnight
Conversations
“She suffered years of domestic abuse and then one day in her 60’s decided to walk the entire Appalachian Trail.”
“If you have any icing left over, you did it wrong.”
“These things come in threes.”
“They had so little, but gave us so much.”
“It always snows in April.”
Trees
when i dream of trees,
it’s a good dream
Lost Memories
where do lost memories live?
