Dreamy Head

checker player
nested
atop
pine benches
a
painting
commemorating
the day
we became
500 years old
with
our
bare hands
to me
the
picture
was
di
vi
ded
by gardens
each long narrow
told-her-so
breakfasted
on my
good-bye
standing nigh
small beds,
church,
evergreen,
the art of
printing,
codfish heads,
orange trees,
sled dogs,
daylight
savings
time, coins
