disembodied
our faces flicker in the light
of our screens

disembodied
summer squall
summer squall
our anger gusts from room
to room

dark mass
dark mass
we run out of small talk
to fill the silence

pounding square pegs
pounding square pegs
even the cucumbers grow faster
than my poem

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
butterflies

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
