Basilica

kings, queens, Saint Denis

their horizontal statues

miss summer again

--12 June 2019

les jardins de Château de Breteuil

in prince's garden

I take off my shoes under

loaded apple trees

--July 2022

end of summer

distant blue forest

hugs the Erie horizon

summer ferries meet

August 2023

Yes this happened

 summer in Fort Bragg

sold out of mushroom flavor

at Cowlick's Ice Cream 

the cottage is gone

first termites then bulldozers

memories homeless

 

Pandemic

same walks from my house

loved ones on the computer

permanent limbo

James' backyard

hammock under spruce
small absent-minded clouds drift

towards oblivion
