1

pouring rain
leaves soaking
wet feet

2

the sound of the 
neighbor's truck growling
I growl too

3

the first bug of spring
races across the kitchen floor
he doesn't see me

4

concrete wall sweats
near blaring train horns
it’s so hot!

5

ink covers fingertips.
i lather dawn and
use a toothbrush

6

the smell of an old
yellowed biography
here I change again

7

a sip of coffee
aches my hunger.
the warmth of home

8

full body scan
the tic tack toe
of chemo

9

thrift shop window
mannequins in
time travel clothes

10

a rainbow glitters
the hose blessing
two kids

11

a phone chime
the gentle reminder
of family

12

saloon or salon
the difference
an O makes

13

the first sun
since the storm
brings a smile

14

not a lot
of nature
basement room

15

pressing down
on letters
my therapy
