@the eleventh hr

. . . reminiscing is best

eight thousand pictures

to flow thru - each year 

went fast - a pup here,

a roof there, the lake 

the park across the busy

street, the gate: to open 

or not: the cold, the wind 

each tree that fell to light 

the windows placed: a pane 

at a time: there was not much 

time to pause btwn the drives

and the eating and sleeping & 

the now and again to wake up 

in strong arms
