how calmly
the stream flows
to the stormy sea

Election Day

Over morning coffee, my husband asks who I’m voting for. I don’t tell him. Instead I say, “You mean, for whom, don’t you?” I know he hates when I correct his grammar. And he knows I hate when anyone asks about my voting. Even him.

I just love being married again.

cruelest month
dog the mud
tracked in
