shelly & I discover a new world



an inch of collected rainwater
long-handled push broom
husband sweeps the boat cover
squishy Hot Tamales
generous handful
a four-alarm mouthful









garden withdrawal
I gather coneflower seeds
sharing the wealth
grasshoppers cling to my hoodie pocket
they grip the springboard of my shirt sleeves
spectacular autumn cattail acrobatics

stomping harvest grapes
the squish beneath my feet
Chit Chat
