unwelcome at the funeral
we sit alone

cleaning the house —
it’s almost time, she says,
for Murder She Wrote!

parched lawn dreams of green
waiting
for autumn rain

peaches
entice me
slowly
turning
soft and sweet
brilliant as sunlight
brilliant as sunlight
cool as rain
the freedom of
conquered addictions
tonight’s dessert

organic peaches and berries
sprinkled with cinnamon
nutmeg

and love
tiny things bring

tiny things bring
happy grandma memories —
jigsaw puzzles pieces
Sunday pancakes made from scratch
quilts and crocheted tablecloths

senses deprived
senses deprived
yet memory satisfies
the smell
of fresh-cut grass
still summer heat

still summer heat
beats the ground — only breeze
from passing cars

an hour of laughter and memories
gone before we start!

smells of fresh-brewed coffee

Sunday morning silence
our rotties wake the neighborhood —
hot air balloons

early morning cool
early morning cool
sparrow prances the lawn
searching for worms
