beneath autumn sun
little lizards hide away
mossy greens and rocks

urban decoupage
glistening on wet pavement
brownish autumn leaves

his photo ID
social security card
first checking account
icons of his brand-new life
fresh immigrant... my brother

little granddaughter
illuminates this old life
today she turns eight

limberly swaying
dancing in the summer wind
slender young tree

my grandson matthew
revolutionized my life
ten years old today

crystal winter morn
within the almond blossoms
birdsong

early winter morn
above mountain pass
a crow
black, gray and snow

hybernation
senses barely awaken
ebb of winter

half a century
seasons and seasons gone by
still...my lil' sister
