white lilacs outside the porch
woodpecker with staccato sound
music and persistence
people who came to dinner
first time in months
Maria beautiful Brazilian
deaf disability activist
Daisy her dog trained
by women in prison
Maria made Brazilian
cheese bread for dinner
good book by my bed
old man at the garage who agreed
to write his first poem
if I could explain how
not a bad idea to write a poem he said
Hannafords now sells
my favorite Syrian Date Walnut ice cream
stranger from India who wrote
this morning to say he’d like
to publish a book of my poems.
An admirer in India,
All good things
