Wherever You Are
I wasn’t there when you left us, slipping into the night. You were a star in the sky that went dark. I thought the night would breathe you back, but now I know you’re gone. I’ve given up hope that I will see you in the flesh.
The night must be so cold up there. I send you all my daughter's love to make of it a parka, for your soul should never freeze.

Dear Daffodils
Daffodils hopped over the fence
from our neighbor’s yard,
anxious to escape the careful
pruning and perfection.
Word spread that we allow
our plants to grow just
as they’d like. How brave
they were to jump with no
idea if they would land alive
or squashed, that other
plants would eat as fertilizer.
Two yellow heads took root
and nodded sunshine to the fall.
I hope they like us well enough
that they’ll be back again.
