Yes, 2023?

[judih]

that recurring figure
occupying space in my mind
still a mystery

[judih]

mealtime songfest
each child’s solo
stronger than the last

[saw]

repair paint rotten wood
four years since extension ladder
younger son bracing

he doesn't have the skills
for the work but he is mountainous
and has mighty hands

[judih]

mountain boy
mighty like Everest
my safety net

[judih]

buried in my skull
deep DNA images
ready when I am

[judih]

kibbutz night music
whooshes, soft roars and cat songs
one-time show?

[judih]

pulse accelerates
mind makes new connections
as Fall shows her face

[the mingo]

you ok, judih? tell me you & yours are ok. Please

that recurring figure
occupying space in my mind
still a mystery

a silent space in my brain
in the sacred core that burns within
she is there for me always

[68degrees]

she still sings same songs
for kiss given years ago,
listen carefully

[stilltrucking]

she still sees
she reads
a careful reader is my benefactor

a derivative ku?
beats me
I got to try

[the mingo]

...

[68degrees]

normalcy we cry
we pray to live humble lives
bring her home to us

[the mingo]

- when your armies,
all your babies,
go off to war -

[the mingo]

under the Xmas tree
an electric train that could
only travel in circles
