The Take 5ive Journal, October 2023
Theme: Childhood
with one chiff
of the church organ
this sudden
girlhood fear of fire
and brimstone
my first kiss
beneath a bower
of honeysuckle,
steeped in the folklore
of everlasting love
screeching siblings
with their arms akimbo
defending
bunkbed territory
like sandhill cranes
unseaworthy,
the ship that carries
our memories . . .
I prefer your version
of childhood to mine

Cattails, October 2023
rogue wave
a limpet holds on
tighter
mountaineering
owl-eyed tents light up
the night
little sisters
cover their smiles
with yellow fans
the ginkgo's leaves
were made for this
jackrabbits
frolicking in the snow
around your grave
there will be time enough
tomorrow for my tears
