trees whisper
in dream language
they nod, understanding

2

cute dress!
i just bought
the same one

3

21st bar crawl;
still stuck in 2020
at my sweet 16

4

commuter student
hometown
only to me

5

my shadow hums tunes
only crows can decode—
i dance anyway

6

stars beyond my reach
breathing under their light
as if i belong, too

7

no wallet
I hop on the train
and let the wind lead

8

empty elevator
somehow
feels like me

9

future is
a blank canvas
what colors will fill it?

10

gazing up
from the open field
stars fall
from the sky
into my eyes

11

floating in
the nighttime lake
with my best friend
we send questions
to the universe

12

dropped my phone
I look up
at the stars
for the first time
in a while

13

funeral
his first wife
doesn’t show

14

same face
contrasting personalities:
twins

15

facing Mecca.
reading Hebrew.
different devotions

16

family dog
how many lifetimes
has he chased sticks 

17

spring rains
for some, the fond
memories of Dad

18

Easter sunrise
oops, I broke
the yolk

19

the car ride home
after he passed
i fall asleep

20

reaching for a scone
a child’s
greedy hand

21

the bright sun
shines on
a dark town
