“The Last Day”
Tell them I loved this place,
the silver river running by
and the fish jumping
and the sweet dogs next-door rolling,
glee in the grass.
I hid glass beads in the reeds,
and left behind painted slate for stepping stones,
little delights to be discovered by the next.
I stand on the last night,
my feet on the slick rock,
in the ferny underwater forest,
minnows nibbling my toes,
darting around their mossy world.
The water is low,
slender stemmed white flowers poke out of the water,
like mini alpine lotus.
The sun is setting,
the geese across the way
nesting on the sandbar,
the heron flying overhead,
prehistorically large like a pterodactyl,
my river otter fishing,
and I know
they will love this place too.

“Home”
I stand, watering the garden
flowers bow their heads under the blessing,
the dogs are rolling in the grass
the fish are jumping
the river running low and warm
ferny forests and little white flowers on its edge
cottonwood leaves shimmering overhead
these are the days I live for
the sweet light of dusk,
the last golden glow skipping across the water
children laughing in the distance
the heron stands alone on a rock."
