morning paper
sudoku is mine--
wife has cross words
_______________
behind the casket
holding my daughters up
holding me up
_______________
drinking in
beautiful sunsets--
the horizon and I
_______________
power mowers and
grass blowers--
tired just listening
_______________
a surgical tray
they forgot to cover--
nightmares
