Monthly Archives: November 2022

Knowing it gets steep
December braces to chase
The year marching off

I wake with blind spots
Part amnesia, part naive
The wicked day waits

A frenzied kid text
Her birthday plans pulled a thread
Dorm life, time, and friends

The abrupt changes
Retirement news and dinner
Each leads to a quest

We ran our best play
Game night and backyard fire pit
Tomorrow she leaves

Breathe in as we walk
Watch Uptown slowly rebuild
Yes, it will come back

Thanksgiving regroup
Without tradition, we trip
Then find our footing

Holiday jumbled
But it’s not COVID this year
Just the heinous flu

Trump lost his court case
His only play was delay
Now the game resumes

Despite others’ plans
I snuck away to regroup
Returned with no guilt
