Decomposing

Her fingers, the wispy breath of young wheat.

An Ohio summer hangs like a warm towel after swimming.

We kickball ideas over the nylon floor of the trampoline;

She recites revisions for her newest novel.

The dank rot of sweet hay and dirt wafts over memories.

Parties at Lake Mohawk

Church luncheons abound at the

Pavilion next to the lakeside beach

Concrete floor, cold against the

Raw, sandy feet of playtime

Coming out of the water for the

Potluck buffet, cheesy potatoes,

Dessert salads abounding.

A prayer goes up for the community,

For the healing of souls, or

For donations for the new church.

Small parties too, celebrated.

Confirmation class completion,

Ready for Easter Vigil.

Pungent incense and sweet oils

Will follow close by, but for now

We feast on our collective meal,

Camrederie with the priest before

Our big day.

One Day Here
