that's mrs. mediocrity to you

.

peace

and joy

and light

.

now

and in

the coming

year

.

xoxo

.

.

.

.

and trying to keep it that way

in the midst of memory

and detritus

reaching

always reaching

for illumination

.

.

.

.

just outside my window

all the excitement i need

.

Happy 4th to you

.

.

.

like rose petals

.

one for me

one for you

one for them

one for us

.

grateful

.

may your heart

and your table

be full

.

xoxo
