even in helping us
even in helping us
pick out new chairs
for our first dining
table, dad doles
out words of
wisdom, eyeing
ones with backs
supported by
a spine that reaches
like a tree downward,
rooted and firmly
grounded,
so that we can
sit up straighter,
remembering
our own roots

memories sometimes
turn into silhouettes, we

becoming familiar
becoming familiar
with new streets starts
with forgetting old
ones, making room
for new turns and
bumps in the road,
so that there is less
chance for
tripping and falling,
getting lost – still,
we need more time

the morning, counting only
the corners that i

though the road may wind,
though the road may wind,
the path is always straight, or
straight enough so that
we will not remember just
how long we have been on it
