bread
day
the
missing polish
on
her fingernails
passing rain
now
on the lotus leaves
many
moons
another spring
reviewing
my forage guidebook
from
page one
home alone
all
the Barbie dolls
facing
to the wall
forgotten seeds
in
the garden
yet
keeping their promise
under
fall leaves and snow
with
plump red beets
