Mon Plaisir

I often return

The house

The lane

The road

The esplanade

The sands

The sea

Undressing

My mind

Step by step

Door by door

Doubt by doubt

Into the present

Out of the past

The body aches

Yet it is the red light

Which stops the motion

In this time

Of deep fakes

I feel authentic

Out we go

With the horses

For all our sakes

Treasure Hunts

If and only if

After visiting

Those places

Once again

From childhood

From vacations

From joyful times

And contemplations

We raised together

However

We turned forever

In The Way

Last summer

The conifer had to go

Its very presence

Was affecting the growth

Of a much prettier tree

Why oh why

Where they ever placed

So close together

Now I notice

In January

That the pretty tree

Itself has been trimmed

Several times before

Why oh why

Did they have to fight

For the same space
