GRIZZLY PEAR

written snapshots

  • In the dark

    In the dark

    an incline slab

    stomach to stomach

    chest to chest

    head to collar

    arms and legs, draped both sides

    his hair in my face

    squirming and squeaking

    until it slows

    and stills to

    a singular moment

    each night.

    I dreamt of an asian pear.

    Stamped with the image of a watermelon.

    Red flesh, black seeds, green rind.

    A juicy bulbous slice.

    Floating By.

    Swing
    Swing

    We were so sick of being trapped by the heat we ended up going to the park around 8pm or so. I played a little (actually a lot) with motion blur. The second shot of many turned out better than the rest.

  • spring in vegas

    waxing gibbous
    the lawn chair becomes a slide
    in the grey light

  • Apple

    outstretched hand
    a slice of apple
    feeding daddy

  • Stuff

    The decade

    Passed

    A blink

    Boxes

    Waiting in

    Mom’s shed.

    eating an apple
    she wails
    outstretched arm
    as daddy heads to work

    with a big grin
    she waves byebye
    and turns the corner
    around the blooming rosebush

  • 5:32

    Pigeon coos
    Baby squawks
    Computer hums

    in the gray dawn light

  • The petal

    In from the backyard,
    She proudly holds a rose petal
    For mommy!

  • Good Morning

    Standing in the early morning light
    Swaying my child to sleep
    A bird chirps alone in the dark
