tranquil . . . pool water
blue as vibrant sky above
spring’s summer vision
full sun . . . woody twigs
green leaf gone, infrequent bud
Ready to jump in
cool breeze, colder ground
sugarplum daydreams recede
Time to get to work

Loss overtakes each day, every night
but it doesn’t need to feel this way
Bask in melancholy if you must, or
if you like, but: wake well in the mornings.
Appreciate the sun, take purpose in
its quintessence of balance—its shine.
Once lost, my other
Before I knew, staunch shadow
Finally, a ghost
