the bond stretches
but does not break
my deceased mother

a window opens
a great green tree outside
what I will last see
2345
neighbors peeking out
counting the ambulances
halos of colors
2733r
in the hospital
she’s ready for rebirth
new dancing shoes
2746
an invitation
unopened at my bedside
festival of souls
2659
weeping tears of grief
her husband’s flower strewn grave
or just allergies
2374r
I pull weeds
they pull back— drag me
into the grave
2365
among the mourners
two elderly men shake hands
still alive— hurrah!
2356r
lights dim, band packs up
news of another party
how this sweet world ends
2155
death has its upside
no worries of outliving
your retirement
2136
the long charred trenches
flooded with sunflowers— bones
still climb to be seen
2099
laid up— bad bad cold
just one of death’s previews
no spoiler alerts
2018
late night in the yard
a fawn cries out, bobcat shrieks
I go back indoors
2010
perched on the railing
she looks down at the bay
traffic rushes by
1943
we used to argue
before you became ashes
the dead don’t talk back
1875
driving by road kill
says a prayer for its next
manifestation
1738
back from hospital
tear up the farewell letters
call the cat sitter
1737
like friends who burst in
unexpectedly with cake
death enjoys surprise
1611r💐
for one afternoon
a meadow of cut flowers
around a new grave
1606🌹
last summer
I visited your grave
you didn’t answer
🕊
