When Good Comes

Waiting for a word
or knowledge of some science
to tell us of Love.

Sanibel Island

An island walkway

leads us from water to sand,

sweet stretch to shade us.

Sometimes you choose your

friends, sometimes the universe

chooses them for you.

Audubon House, Key

West; known for strange goings-on.

Ask the gift shop guy.

Intricate metal

cut-outs of birds and petals,

living batik art.

Delicate, brave; tried

and true – independent, strong,

and long-loved. Pekes Rule!

Face of my grandad,

face of my son; one photo

between two young men.
