another year
has passed since
my mother’s passing
I sit and quietly read
a book she would like too

POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN
new poems
sun on my desk
and chair
sometimes when I pray
before a meal, I remember
my grandmother’s prayers
in Swedish, and her voice
Poems From Psalms And Nature and Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin
leaves fall
from the tree
by my window
to the garden where
lilies bloom in summer
reading journals
new generation of poets
since I began
clouds and yet
enough light
to fill a jam jar
with the last
of the carnations
Poem from August 8, 2020
