a complete book series
one of life’s greatest pleasures
reading it straight through

first nice day in awhile
I videochat outside
to helo fly-bys
my seed starts languish
friends speak of garden bounty
I stare at my sprouts
new mask reqs at work
digging through my closets, find
old fabric untouched
ah, impermanence
just when I find new normal
life throws a curve ball
sleep for eight hours
wake tired, no energy
can’t focus, tears fall
every night I check
the deck planter filled with seeds:
any shoots this time?
the rain keeps falling
as rhododendrons explode
pinks, fuchsias, reds
exhausting work day
go to bed at normal time
—wide awake at 1 a.m.
first it was TP
then bleach, flour, yeast, rice, beans
now it’s meat, pet food
—on scarcity in grocery stores
