Back Up

first game
snowflakes catch
in the umpire’s mask

rmb

Mothers in the stands
pass around hot cocoa

ajc

taking a sip
of her cocoa
I burn my tongue

bj

Christmas morning
I can only smell the ham

ap

the morning moon
peeks through my window
big cheese

kf

headed out
a farmer’s morning chores

eg

•

nothing in the fridge
or the store
zombies . . .

nk

hungry for more
popcorn?

kk

the movie drags
I feel like I’ve seen
this before

kr

the dumb plot twist
I won’t spoil for her

ns

she gets excited
about nothing
I’m excited about her

lb

in for the night
I hear something upstairs

fr

•

full moon
   in the distance
   creatures of the night

ak

the little boy stares
searching for the monster

fr

I tuck him in
but leave on the light
for protection

lb

I lock the door
to protect us both

ns

I peek through the curtains
clinging to the fabric
of cherry blossoms

kr

waving goodbye . . .
he backs down the driveway
