what a lovely coincidence
that on this day
as i continue on my city parks journey
and drive through a neighborhood
i am lost
until
i come to the intersection of
pamela and patricia
the names of
my two sisters
one still with us
one gone forever
and today –
her birthday
i look ahead to find
they’ve led me
to the beautiful park right in front of me.

tell me about your picture.
it’s my dog.
he has
4 legs
and
a tail
and
some spots
and
a face.
and where is the rest of him?
right there.
he’s white.
don’t you see him?
yes, i do now.

a deterrent for some – a draw for others?
and with this
quietly brilliant sign,
i accept your apology
with a smile.
it began with the random choice of my reindeer shirt
the obvious selection for a springy-summery day
i wore it on a visit to my daughter
as we sat in her yard
i saw something
out of the corner of my eye
i looked over
to see this guy standing there
looking at me
he must have seen me
out of the corner of his eye
i headed over to
the hidden and understated
hard to find
artisan oasis
known as
motawi tiles
where i came across this beautiful
handcrafted tile
and i knew
this was the one i was meant to own
all signs pointed me clearly in this direction.

Tis not enough to help the feeble up, but to support them after.
except for now and except for this lane and except for this orange barrel and except for who knows how long?
