What was on the wall that day.
My partner makes the bed when I forget. He doesn't mention it.
A black bear with two cubs across the meadow. Far enough.
Mushrooms in a fairy ring on the lawn.
Spring break, 1993. A motel pool. My brother and I underwater making faces. We came up laughing every time.
Public restrooms. Underrated kindness.
My grandmother's church hat. Wide brim. A small fake bird on the side. She wore it every Easter. I have it in a box.
The dog rolling in the grass.
My wife knows the difference between my sigh of contentment and my sigh of dread.
Catching the green light when you're already running late.
My doctor said your numbers are good. I cried in the car. Good day.
Sunday morning. Newspaper. Coffee. Nothing else required.
My brother is teaching his daughter to ride a bike. He is patient. I did not know he could be that patient.
