my wife needs a room
of her own,
a place to close the door,
a place I never saw
in the sunnier days before
long time split now held together with straps

long time split
now held together
with straps

on the way home
more geese
on the way home

wherever you may be may there be beauties about you

wherever

may there be beauties
about you

the cashier

up to the light
seeing through the here and now my daydream...

stand of tall trees-
not sure what
I’m turning into
it is always just going out to see what you can see...

of being here now
as witness
