2021.12.31: sweet home

eight full weeks after
nightmare odyssey began
we’re finally home

2021.12.23: journey

home away, Dec ‘21

fog on day fifty
trees had leaves when we began
yet we’re still not home

2021.11.29: unfolding

through the woods, Nov ‘21

leaves are mostly gone
so much transpired this month
so much yet not walked

2021.10.21: homeward

full moon rising, Oct ‘21

full moon pale at dusk
remaining light goes quickly
last mile in moonlight

2020.07.29: revelation

mask on nature trail

wouldn’t it be great
to reach the point where we can –
let go of our masks
