(1)
preparing the Obon altar
a wind chime rings
they’re here
(2)
over dinner
Grandpa drops pieces of
the old days
(3)
rambunctious kids
it never ends
the lazy river
(4)
the wind carries
the smell of flowers
blooming somewhere else
(5)
pulling weeds
I find the legs of my son’s
beetles again
(6)
highway robbery —
airport water
ten dollars a bottle
(7)
at my footstep
a bird takes flight
the spaces we share
As always, thank you for reading.
