our hearts yearn for you, dad
mom kisses your picture
each night before bed

Sunday quiet
Sunday quiet —
fewer cars
go rushing by
more April rain

sun parched lawn
turns verdant green

her key
silent in the lock

home late from a date

home late from a date
glad the house is dark!
who knew
mom was waiting up!

unwelcome house-guest

unwelcome house-guest
swishing out the door —
she doesn’t see us watching her

the flash of headlights
the flash of headlights
tires crunching on gravel —
daddy’s home from work!
bees weave in the air
bees weave in the air —
the fragrance of spring blossoms
hangs like a spell
sleepless nights
sleepless nights . . .
making up dreams
I sometimes fall asleep
April rain
April rain . . . . .
why am I surprised? very soon
taxes are due again!
pesky fly
pesky fly —
suddenly
a jet bomb attack
fed-ex delivery
fed-ex delivery
twelve boxes of soymilk —
heavy as bricks!
