in this town, home for nine filled years,
of birth and death,
was acquaintance, even friend
filled , this summer day
without children.
A quiet tension fills
a life
I notice is my own
to
claim,
gardening,
writing, cooking,
swimming, camping,
biking, hiking
l alone
or
shared by
large or
small
owls hoot, woodpeckers tap,
angel calls, coyotes howl, dragonflies,
mosquito bites
my life .
