fading music—
the ocean curves around
our feet
crossed out days—
our sunflowers end up
as bird seed
night holding
one star to the next—
Mom’s 80th birthday
steady daylight—
more snowflakes finding places
others missed
not as far
as the wind goes—
signs with the name of our destination
more windows
than home—
the child's drawing
