On some tight-lipped days
it is hard to catch your breath.
The sky breathes for you.

Sunshine can’t break through
Clouds hang low and everywhere
I count on coffee

The greenest lizard
crawling out of the compost
— the world is magic

My husband unpacks,
shakes out grains of river sand
Each one a story

A birthday bouquet
finally drops its petals
Makes me feel my age

Raindrops hit the dirt,
that petrichor musk rises,
smells of drought and hope.

The houseplant, leaning
scratching the screen like a cat
wants to be outdoors

Under the brown leaves
the bamboo stands thick and green
Resilient center

Stripes of green, blue, grey
Above the clouds, our ears pop
Listen carefully
