What was on the wall that day.
Snow predicted, then arriving.
The man at the post office knows my mother's name. She doesn't drive anymore. He carries her packages to her car.

My father said he loved me, out loud, for the first time, last week. He's eighty-two.
The first sip of mulled cider in October.
An owl outside my window at four a.m. I don't get tired of that.
The smell of pine on a hot day.
