Mt. Union
Come closer and listen
Watching the theaters of evening
With the lowering sun at our backs
We could rest on this hilltop
Growing smaller and farther away
Forever

June sundown in Upper Turkeyfoot |
for TikTok today,
Nothing
for facebook or Reels,
No double-jointed shenanigans,
No faceplants, no ballbusters,
Just the red fox
slipping into the weeds,
Just the long-legged turkey
fleeing into the barn,
scattering cats,
Just the big red sun
dropping into the trees,
Just my own echo
when I call in the dog,
Just me again
with you on my mind.

Unconditional Love
I pinned my laundry to the line
and stood in the storm-watch wind,
luffed and transported
into Grandma's backyard
under buffeting sheets
and Grandpa's workshirts,
blue arms waving,
"Carl" winking in an oval,
Grandma leaning out the kitchen window
in the smell of baked cherries,
waving me in with a smile,
the long arms of my workshirts
rising and falling in the wind.
