birth announcement
an opened packet
of marigolds

peony moon
lace flower curtains
in the nursery

corn silk
a child’s face peeking out
behind the stalks

Sunday pot roast
a bowl of tomatoes
on the windowsill

old recipe
for strawberry rhubarb pie
her gold-rimmed glasses

graffiti
on the corner mailbox
news of bombs

driftwood
a wizened retiree
with his surfboard
