out running errands
lingering at a stop sign
to let the sun pass

sunset at stop sign, Jan ‘22

darkness falls quickly
sometimes all that we can do
getting through winter

scampering, Jul ‘20

half moon this morning
a startled rabbit scampers –
my breath giving chase

2022.01.23: unwholly

we are one body 
how can we ignore the pain 
of other members 

cutting off those suffering 
kills the members who are numb

Christmas cactus, Jan ‘22

life is here then gone 
beauty and admirer too 
who will tell the tale 

that doesn’t make it less real 
be grateful and live fully
