Front porch in flowers
Geraniums surround me
Wrapped in Karen’s arms

LAKE CROSSING

Old one, good old stone
Read the obituaries
Take the fast boat

Put it with roses

Put it with roses
Red wheelbarrow shows its rust
but the herald’s voice
Seven times seven foolish
All the old poems reborn

Walk April garden
with coffee in the red cup
gathering supplies

ON THE TENTH ANNIVERSARY OF OUR MOTHER'S CROSSING
On the Tenth Anniversary of Our Mother’s Crossing
Before leaving town
Saturday’s urgent beauty
Letters sent in mail

Hearing Karen Breathe

Hearing Karen breathe
How is it? I ask
I have to get up
Got to go to the bathroom
Otherwise I slept ok

EARLY LISTENING
EARLY LISTENING
Left hand on your breast
Elbow covering stomach
Right arm beneath you
My ear is a stethoscope
Intimate daily lifeline
