Keeping his pants dry

Sunshine sings its song
But inside I feel sour
So I pray, and wait
Â
January 13
Sleep. Shower. Coffee.
Take some time today to write
One thing at a time
Â

All this sun, while storms
Spread snow across the country
Grill steaks now, play games            (New Year’s Eve party postponed two weeks ago)
Â

Angry in morning
Angry in the evening
Angry suppertime
Sunday, January 16
Stop screaming the truth
Start hearing what others think
And then say it back
Â

San Diego skies
Go outside and just breathe deep
while sun bakes my skin

Let’s read “Lebanon Times,” then
Buy dry fava beans

Always, forever

All day, sweet sunshine

Four great football games
Over now, I’m exhausted
Like I played myself

Stomping through puddles
Warm gingerbread with Miles, Mom
Jasper leads the way

We make a good team
When we don’t kill each other
Day in and day out

Cooking with Jasper
Feed each other sausage bites
Then take a long nap

Margaret’s eyes, heart, tooth
Doctors who care, a little
They too are human

Finishing month’s books
Roll the door up on my mind
Receive what God gives
