Thank God for Spring & Family
Shimmering blue pink and yellow pebbles
glisten in today’s glorious sunshine underneath the oceanic roaring water
of my brand newly planted by my visiting Beaverton son
freshly arrived from Amazon WATER PUMP
as seen through my newly exposed from moving furniture around picture window
nonetheless and yet perfectly fishiess FISHPOND
now rimmed all around by those huge flat mica-glistening rocks
that my traveling smiling (just stopped by for the weekend) sister
whom I hadn’t seen for months now all the way from Boulder, Colorado
helped me buy, transport, lift, and heave into place
