let all rejoice!arriving to our house today:washer and dryer!
misgiven thoughtsbirthed by old memorieslost in a song
Sinatra crooningon the mini-golf course --Chiemsee 1985
warm weather bringssongs of summer breezesand hummingbirds
the odor resistanceof my Merino wool shirt --tested by my armpits
wishing well for others --a sentiment too oftentrumped by greed
the wrecking ball swingsback and forth destroyingmy old apartment building
bull snorts in the fieldcharges toward the frightened childstopped by the fence
colors in the northcaptured by the eyesmultiplied in the soul
daffodils smile brightlyas they reach for the sunwell rested, reborn
rising strong in Springblack bear breaks Winter slumberforaging for food
Owl eats MouseSun hides behind MoonNature resets
spitting out paperresidue left behindby candy dots
ocean beachdestroyed by the stormreborn in its wake
