OCTOBER 2026
I’ve got my reading glasses on so I can
Believe in everything and
Smile at the Winding Road that exists between my shoulders,
There is a long pink braid between the two mountains,
And I will cross it with ease.
Receiving a signal at the bottom becomes much more
Confusing when I reach the top and the flowers
Get in the way of the auric alphabet, and I’m not
Without a sense of direction but north and south
Look the same from way up here so I say
As we empty the red backpack,
Sort the crumbs and letters between us,
When all is done,
Fruit snacks exchanged.

Dog digging in the dirt searching for
An oracle fortune slip of paper magic numbers
There across the street is the dog you can’t see but,
You know he is there by the song around his neck.
Friendly face lazy heart apple eye,
One day I might be
That flower in the wind or
Will I be the wind?
To be the air blowing through a window,
I’m free!
MAY 2026
Obviously,
It’s me in the park.
Another blade of grass,
Wants to be the field.
The crow had a token in it’s mouth
Shaped like a sound,
Circled with a blue pen,
Encapsulated tower,
Brooding chimney,
Winking trees…
We locate the perfect stick
APRIL 2026
There is a far corner of the room,
That only a paw can find.
The dog’s first thought
After she saw the ladybug,
She’s alive and she wants to go outside!
Without seeing the ladybug she had no thoughts but
Then there was the ladybug
MARCH 2026
I'm the Large Brown Egg To be coveted
Stirring from my
Hard Shell Innocence
Reaching for
My denim pocket...
A sacred grove
