Tracks Back

We're traveling to Bakersfield to pay tribute
from all points across the continent

Family by relation
Family by choice
Family by happenstance - as much one as the other

We're her six adult children
who's subsequent offspring range
from children and early adolescents through
forty-somethings, each curious

Enough to put our lives on hold,
we'll get together
for a week

We're adoptees
from forty years ago plus
Significant others, new loves and old

We're continuing devotion
to a lady whose home was acceptance
Multiple time zones traveled,
to the little bungalow's front yard

The San Joaquin Valley in July

All are welcome

Always were

Damp morning urge ~ my senses startle in such calm


New delights, discovered ~
Blackbird ~ Foreward

Summertime ~ Haines, Alaska
