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.
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.
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.
