shaky hands -
but granny still adroit
with a needle

knighting —
the prof's first patch
on his cord jacket

seeing the ordinary
as glorious -

the fire inside
of the moth -

is the final refuge &
hiding place

of hope.

afford-dancing -
aging -
and letting-go -
and fully embrace -
re-membering -
she who -
en-visioned -
en-lighten-meant -
that loving -
an-other -
with passion -
is gift -
rare -
until everywhere -
that moment -
of desire -
to feed her soul -
transcendent -
and back -
to the future -
#micropoem

Built like a 'shithouse,
Walking reinforcement -
"You 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 about that?"

chopping the roots
of the tree that couldn’t grow
approaching whine
the white suv wavers
in the afternoon heat

A boomshraagle-clang,
Rouses sleepers from their bed -
It's go time!

reconnoiters the yard
autumn dusk

​Engine roars,
Claiming first-class on the wing,
Brave little traveler.

she teaches me
fractional division
at the kitchen counter
our crafts made
from toilet paper rolls

Feeling a #sneeshy mood,
Silly thoughts inside my head,
Fluff around my ears.
