hypochondriac friend
proven right at last

what skins did I wear
did t-rex ever chase me
bedtime for ollie
2275
in the garden shed
brand new rake and hoe
bought ten years ago
2274
bamboo back scratcher
what better companion
could there be
2772
the young cedars
the grace of wild swans
only owls remain
2771
pitted, discolored
the mirror is a pocked moon
I shave in
2768
spring cleaning
I’m here as I am
I’ll leave as I am
2762r
tap the prayer bell
a message to my dead ones
you live in me still
2761
roses blooming
roses withering
sharing a vase
2740r
luck of an old ox
forgotten in a field
of plenty
2770
my far away friend
though we’ll never meet again
a spring memory
2769
an extra hour
of sunlight— a bone
for an old dog
2746
an invitation
unopened at my bedside
festival of souls
2744
elderly auntie
wills me her wheelchair, crutches
china chamber pot
2720r
a battered penny
picked up from the gutter
we are the same age
2713
old grizzled gunny
marching out every morning
salutes as I drive by
2709
a resounding roar
salutes the sunrise
thunder box barrage
2707
old man in the rain
dragging a sack of rice
leaking behind
2697
frazzled grandfather
little miss devil toddler
who is going to win
2686
a vow for new year’s
not to shout at the grandson
it’s not New Year’s yet
