The Room off the Deck, Blacksburg, VA- July 15, 2010
A black dog
lays on a red blanket
in a debatably
(which my the online dictionary says is not a word)
blue room.
Next to a woman
of an certain age
who is learning to be balanced.
There is a vase full of flowers-
blue hydrangeas
from a neighbors bush,
pink with a blush of yellow gladiola's-
from the bulbs my mother gave me.
They are just so.
The dog.
The flowers.
The remind me while I work
how to
be.
