Belonging to the Loved Ones
Two Hawks
Two hawks aloft
crows anxious banding together
my neighbor comes over to my croft, likes the warm weather, November
a California Christmas and maybe species will migrate to reflect that,
she paints watercolor ornaments, gentle Jewish lady
how far from her past is she now? or is she quite aware just not talking about it now
I wonder what she thinks the solution to Israel-Palestine might be
ask her sitting around the pool next summer
almost always disappointed people haven't given the single state solution more thought
we discuss Thanksgiving, the cleaning and cooking before and the cleaning after, then
the insane Christmas potlatch
deciduous trees have a special winter beauty, conifers among them.
