Some–like white wine–are
best when young. My French Bordeaux
grows better with age.

Knight
Stalled out. He comes. Starts
car. Buys breakfast. Drops what he’s
doing. Just for me.
Laid off friend
Drops by at four, raids
the fridge, toasts unhappy hour
to his firing squad.
Driving cross country
West Coast starting line
pavement our road map we head
east back to our roots.
Friendship
Despite my darkest
moods you reach out, take my hand,
and lead me toward hope.
Mortality
That first brush with death
shook loose her confident grasp
of all she held dear.
Respects
They hadn’t spoken
in a year, but she came home
to wish him goodbye.
At 22
You’re gone, leaving class
mates to learn that last lesson:
life can be too short.
Friendship during hard times
Like an egg in a
carton I fall but don’t crack,
cushioned by your strength.
Mommy friendships
If all we have in
common is our kids, that’s not
an enduring match.
