I will carry you today.
Will you carry me on some tomorrow?
Carry You

Mighty Heron
I consider it a fortunate day when
we see one another through the river reeds.
Infinity
I don’t see the weekend tourists,
the sticky fingered children,
the sun soaked fishermen casting off the docks.
Instead, I think about Magellan and wonder
what inspired him to keep navigating
in that giant, infinite circle.
September 1
The tree outside our balcony is changing,
although the days are still warm.
September steps forward,
and I bid it a peaceful welcome.
Geese
Watching the geese fly across the morning sunrise,
hearing their distant honking calls–
wishing I could call back to them in return.
Goodbye
As my children walked toward the first day of school,
I whispered goodbye to summer.
A memory
biking on the black bridge
bits of blue between the clouds
soft breezes from the river
my son and I watch the barge below–
this moment beautifully burned into my memory
Some things that bind
rope, twine, trust, childhood,
lies, dreams, ribbons, memories,
secrets, chains and love
Happiness
Choose happiness,
and it will choose you in return.
Summer Pleasures
afternoon storms
ice cream outside
the sound of children playing
all things green
bird calls in the morning
sunrise at 5:15 am
sunset at 9:30 pm
the smell of cut grass
coffee on the balcony
boats sailing on the river
sleeping with the windows open
misty morning fog
