I remember the first time you
left me on the far side
and I ran home
past black squirrels and beaver
funky honking geese at
Goose Lake
see I've already had more afternoons
than I can bear to remember
more mornings too
we move the lawn furniture, replant
the old flowers, and choose
which weeds to let be
the best thing about dying
is you don't realize
when it happens
but the peach and blueberry cake
was a particularly sweet
and savory memory
2011
