spacer
with Sarah out of town,
all the chores fall to me.
i have to make the coffee,
clean the catbox, and water
the garden just for starters.
but the reward has been a
pint or two of strawberries
picked fresh every morning.
i graze on them all day,
juicy red poppers of pure
energy and délight.

Thomas the Hunter
visited from Seattle
with a sack of elk
meat he prepared very
rare, near raw, and unlike
anything i've had before,
flesh firm but tender with
the texture of flan. i made
a salad with garden greens
and Keeno from up the hill
joined us for dinner, all of
us grateful to be eating so
well in a time when it seems
any meal could be the last.
