friends still visit the hospital
multiple times a week;
families are falling apart—
siblings not talking to each other,
parents splitting up,
and all sorts of bad things
happening in dark places;
I have bills to pay
with no source of income;
papers to research and write
with no real subject;
and a persistent case of the lonelies
that flares-up like herpes—
but right now
my legs throb with accomplishment,
there’s a digital camera
full of pictures
documenting an alpine ascent--panoramic views,
group photos, and crazy-carpet rides,
we are tired past the giggle point,
and I have an ice cream cone—
Right now
things are alright.
