garter snake
but the snakes of home
are poisonous
child's drawing
a house that tells
a different story
quiet song
by the river
spring green
avoiding close
conversations
still six feet apart
hair pulled back
covid-19 hairstyle
just might remain
garter snake
but the snakes of home

child's drawing
a house that tells
a different story
quiet song
by the river
spring green
avoiding close
conversations
still six feet apart
hair pulled back
covid-19 hairstyle
just might remain
sunshine
off the water
trees shimmer
swallows
skimming the river
computer bug
warmth off the log
sitting beside the spring
flowing river
Agatha Christie
mom's book waiting
for another moment
seven days
the pattern of life
repeats
Mary's Hope
sitting to
listen to you
preparations paused
prostrate
over my brother's death
Lazarus come forth
kneeling to
anoint your feet
death ahead
standing
as I watch you die
waiting for new life
