pounding square pegs
singing the sun
singing the sun
at his funeral I read
Dylan Thomas

laughing at the joke
laughing at the joke
he’s made five times this visit
his Alzheimers

first day nerves
first day nerves
between the students and I

overnight rain
overnight rain
everything in it’s deepest
hue

arrested mid-fall
arrested mid-fall
the white agapanthus petals
in the spider’s web

summer creek crossing
summer creek crossing
I test each river rock
before I step

consulting room
consulting room
she feels each death as if
it were her first

regret
regret
filled with memories
the empty chair

slow, fat drops of rain
slow, fat drops of rain
out of nowhere the thunder
then silence
