My preferred palette
Rainbow in rearview mirror
Sun sets on rain clouds

30

Sometimes I show up
And my friends (and their parents)
Make me feel so loved

29

We just get better
As time passes As we gain
Trust in our own skin

28

Reassures me when
Mom says she made similar
Choices in her life

27

as a hard worker
it's the non-work soul searching
that is the challenge

26

not ready for home,
we get locked in a bar from
1:30 to 2:00

25

our adventure day
tugs + pulls, but we settle
on brisket, root beer

24

a great Bikram class
then three beers, to see if
yoga offsets booze

23

Watched an interview
between Z. Smith, Adichie.
They covered it all.

22

Sit on kitchen bench
Reading Rushdie, sneaking smokes
Think of my future

21

On some days, when time
Allows it, we wake up, eyes
Toward each other

20

Am I back? I'm back.
I build on the past, things passed
And set days to words.

12

Breakfast cooks slowly
Borrowed camp stove versus wind
Sip coffee, look out

11

My heart beats out mouth
As we step foot by foot up
To reach Ryan's top

10

Packing up the van
Accomplishing to do lists
For desert escape
