A good reminder
full lifetime packed in two weeks
live as if that’s all

a slideshow of memories
 washing through my mind.

Gray and cloudy day
gotta make my own sunshine.

Winter’s gotten old.

There are days I’d like
the option of staying here

or flying away.

Cannons, bayonets
funny hats, ramrod-posture.
No thanks, palace guards.

Saw this and wondered:
is the other tree worn out?
could it just let go?

world’s filled with tiny details
quite miraculous.

High above it all
Cheery colors and rooftops
Hey, Copenhagen!

Crushed metal can be pretty
when everyone’s safe.

Today is frigid

Guaranteed cure-all:
watching Loki fly on by.

Trust me, two birds here
Damned chickadees always move.

Changed my mind, love it.

Welcome, ungulate
nibbling the flower garden.
I’m happy to share.

Me and my french press
on National Coffee Day.
Warm. Caffeine. Goodness.

Hey, remember this?
Don’t forget to take a break
behold the wonder.

filled with long lines and long waits.
Bonus: human tricks!
