when I hung up my pencil
she was still writing
I closed my eyes
she was still telling me stories
I was small, Easter egg hunting
the smell of the Florida room
my grandfather’s pipe on the porch
the organ – living room centerpiece
Toledo Zoo dressed for Christmas
turkey tetrazinni on Black Friday
clippings from the paper carefully sent
Canadian geese flying through the wall
frontyard willowtree climb
new fireplace chairs, hard to time
a year with two Septembers
