from Maine you can see the curve of the earth

the things we cling to

my old friend, water, my good companion

at midweek

the ancient childhoods of our youth

at midweek

she married me. again.

at (not quite) midweek

thy neighbor's beans

don't reap to the edges of your field

at midweek

by the sea

a quick summer supper

at midweek

the turning of time

the things we never say

at midweek

life and death in the garden

when I stopped laughing

at midweek

the caregiver's lament.

Join Katherine May and Elissa Altman in Rockport Maine for a day-long retreat, August 8th

a letter to my dearest Kurt

on Earth as hospital patient

at midweek

how wide the crack in heaven

at midweek

bring me lilacs from your garden

on Juneteenth

at midweek

on father's day

at midweek

shelling the peas

on daily grief-work

fighting the neighborhood woodchuck.

on old dogs slowing down.
