mom's quilt holding up better than I am

Happy Mother's Day to all!

receding water the irises grow taller

problems have more arrivals than departures

coughing jag well at least I'm not crying

Backed up to Eternity

depression every possibility becomes impossible

wrong way sign state of the union on a divided highway

unflooded roads backed up to eternity

wing extensions for vultures drenched in sunshine

a tumble-down boulder the limestone de-stressing itself

dead ends I get to see everything in reverse

spring twilight closure is a wound that re-opens somewhere else

a sense of foreboding in the bent spine of a battered oak

mapping out my journey the restless june bugs* ready for flight

*also called may beetles

st. patrick's day the spring of a rabbit before the grass turns green

pi day irrationality has become our 51st state

microwave cameras secretly filming my leftovers

Thanks to Kellyanne Conway for the very latest updates in spyware technology.
