Trip on the Tow
Barge
folks get in and out
but all the way the moon
travels with me
a white contrail
streaks across the sky
deep down
between the clouds
another plane
Cape Canavaral
launched into space
a rocket ship
grandpa's smile as he recounts
his trip on the tow barge
honeymoon . . .
a hot air balloon glides
among the stars

What day is it?
green tea leaves
in the bottom of a cup
my future
searching old files
for more ancestors
under the tent
she reads my palm
"a long life line"
faded picture
my dad as a kid
on grandma's lap
Five generations ..
blowing out one candle
remember son
whenever you ask what day it is
it is today
