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.
Left behind
What’s necessary?
The triage of memory.
A pyre to the past.
Packing to evacuate
Photos first, then the
baby albums. Love letters.
We can buy new clothes.
San Diego fire 2
Her view from the hill
– once so fine in good weather –
just blackened landscapes.
San Diego fire
Anne emails to say
smoke plumes rise like shrouds of loss.
Below, hell ablaze.
Disbelief
Can it be midnight?
I’m losing track of time, hours
misplaced like lost keys.
Domestic engineer
Today computers
obsess me. (I must go back
to baking cookies.)
Morph
You think you know me.
Carefully constructed, I
reinvent daily.
