good to create
when we can
sometimes more
sometimes less
every year different

path to the garage
path to the garage
deer discovered
the hosta plants
garden perennials
grow and rest
return again
sometimes when I pray
sometimes when I pray
before a meal, I remember
my grandmother’s prayers
in Swedish, and her voice
if I could read
if I could read
every book
in my small library
I would then
begin again

since I began
