Each day Clara trains
for next fall’s soccer season.
Determination.

Fan in the window
whirrs like a prop plane in the
throes of a lift-off.

A day of reading
spins out before me like yarn
before a cat’s paw.

The gas man cometh.
I make him avoid nesting
dove when he does work.

It’s hot and still out.
Glad I hacked at the hedgerow
yesterday. Virtue.

Clara home from school —
her crap filled the 4Runner.
Nice to have her home.

Glad I didn’t plant
the impatiens yesterday —
clear and cold last night.
