Late October Sun

God, there you are
Crawling in front, crown of
Gold
Into the kitchen
It’s all felt so surreal
I laughed so hard

I laughed so hard with you

I haven’t laughed so hard and so long
Here in late October Sun

Toys stacked neatly
Probably your design
Just like your mother

Speaking of
“You know what else your daughter did today?”
“She ate a cricket”

Subaru Outback™ green
Flowing out the door
Buzzing, in my
Chest and neck

Laughing hard and long
Here in late October sun
