Moved and Adjusting

Rothko and I have moved from our house of 11 years to an apartment in the same neighborhood.

I thought I would never do this sort of thing in this blog but I am just seeing if I can get used to accessing it with a new computer.

Starting soon there will be poetry and images on a regular basis. Hopefully there will be other pleasant surprises as well.

This kitchen is smaller than the foyer in the house we moved from.
This will eventually be a living room.
Everything is a jumble and will be for a while. Going from a large house to a small apartment is a challenge. We will do it.

Here's to the future.

The song
of your sisters
unnoticed absence
(escaping beauty)
sounds like
the poem
you wrote you
(my pretty)

Do you know the name of these lovely little volunteers that showed up in my yard beginning last year?

June Without Words

A Poem for the Month of June

Thank you
for the things you brought to me

your shoulders and your mouth
your face and your voice

the sacred warmth
of your hopeful lean.

Thank you
for your ideal feet in my nervous hands
the taste of your skin on my lips
the chill on the back of your neck.

I loved the summer and you.

For the things you brought to me
thank you.
