my father
on marriage

Sunday crime

I overestimate the nutmeg

for our breakfast muffins

a little moment

of rebellion

gelato in February

craft store

deep in thought

over fake cherry blossoms

lightning bolt
counting the seconds
until he retorts

foggy morning

perhaps one beer

would have sufficed 

family dinner

we let the wine

speak for us
