Poem

I Remember the night we met 
Austin Texas. Halloween.
Neither of us in costumes. 
Falling oh so quickly,  oh so foolishly 

   
 Love sprouting , flowering jubilantly 
 A delicate dance of 
Intertwining stems, soft leaves, silken petals 

Me……...dread locks , patchwork pants 
You…... long brown hair,  unkempt auburn beard 
You had that favorite tie dyed t- shirt you
liked to wear. 

We married one year later 
Halloween
I remember spiraling autumn leaves 
dancing auspiciously

First day of spring, 
 tears falling from your eyes 
new baby struggling to breathe
I remember her tiny hands, her olive skin


I remember Humboldt county where the redwoods kiss the Ocean
New baby strapped to back, 
ferns reaching out over our heads
  
I remember West Yellowstone, camping in the snow.
Canvassing at Old faithful.
How many times do we watch it blow?

Three  years unfolding …...
We birthed another baby . 
Sweet rosy cheeks
A ray of sunlight in our forest of unknowing  


Mostly I remember you midst the ferns, 
 where the redwoods kiss the shore.
And that tie dyed t- shirt you liked to wear.
