even after death
each one is different---
leaning headstone
Christmas lunch—
after the presents we continue
our arguments
pine forest
a naked doll face down
in the mud

dementia--
a chance to beat my father
at chess
wild wind
she asks me to take
Viagra
old jogger—
I wave to him
in my pajamas
news of refugees
the oak leaf crushed
in my hand
unstable cliffs
he pulls his daughter away
from the ice-cream van
our car rolls
backwards up the hill
marriage on the rocks
the way
to a lonely man’s heart
surgery
lost
pointed in the right direction
by a blind man
morning swim
discussing relationships
in the deep end
