Serendipity

Kindred spirits drift
within the net and sometimes
meet by accident.

Insurmountable

Sisyphus and his
rock are nothing compared to
teenagers’ laundry.

Eve and the tea of knowledge

I’d never cheat on
my husband. But that smells so
good one sip won’t hurt.

Solitaire

Seductive silence
wraps me past midnight. I crave
the absence of sound.

Imbalance

Drought parched hillsides.  Drenched
rivers nibble collapsing
roads. Some thirst. Some drown.

San Diego fire 6 – evacuation

A walk uphill at
4am to say goodbye
to the neighborhood.

Earl Grey

Cup of pleasure wafts
aromatic steam warming my
lips pursed for a sip.

San Diego fire 5 – Family back east

California burns.
Your life separate from us?
Now just smoke and ash.

San Diego fire 4 – Remembering Del Rio Road

We visited once.
Soaked in your hot tub under
the lemon tree’s shade.

San Diego fire 3

Spring Valley is bone
dry. Here in New York skies rain
tears of compassion.
