wife is accomplished
clever
magical
brown locks
she stands magnificent
next to the blood orange tree
we planted
a baby
and named him Ausphur
after his father’s mad
poeticism
and momma’s
good luck.
when Fiona’s
big twinkle meets my ogle
it is to ask
“do you think this is bad?”

patch of discoloration
on the shrubby

ethnic decor
punctuating rich hardwood walls:
masks and fabrics are portals
to times we roamed
ourselves weary
now
finally we can
recline
into the danish

ripe avocado
heirloom tomatoes
a piece of sustainable trout

warm light + auto-chef aroma
as
our purple sky front vista
navies down to night.
Ausphur is building
unbuilding and
rebuilding his legos in the guest yurt
saving his screen time
for 8pm
his friends will log on
and Fiona and I will
hold hands
lock eyes
across the
reclaim cherry
and
Fiona fills her diaphragm,
corner smiling at
my helpless love-look
“so..”
she tries to start
desperate eyes
and
that half smile,
my pause palm
moves to her clavicle
“It’s ok Fiona, I know.”
