random notes on creative nonfiction

I want to uncover from real to real,
though I can barely get beyond imagined.
The role my supposings play, though, makes it fun:
a biography of air, of ants, or aunts,
a piece of driftwood once a tree.

A foundation crumbles,
a cemetery stone speaks.
My face in the mirror
draws down.

I wander long hours, imagining
why this was, or what that might have been,
what we might be.

    Deb, that’s my favorite place on our local bike path, with ducks swimming below and a trail stretching on for miles ahead.

    Mom, thanks for looking in on thoughts that try to go somewhere. It was good seeing you!
