A Rain Shower In The Park
A Storm, A Table, And True Love
The park wasn’t crowded, maybe because the clouds came rolling in with a fierce demeanor. The once vivid reflections of trees on the water became dull. With fingers locked together, we strolled along the water’s edge hoping the storm would pass over quietly. The water played with our feet. The waves quickly ran up the beach, then retreated before we could touch it with our toes. Small drops created small circles on the water’s surface. As drops grew larger and faster, we found a table to climb under. I kissed you; you kissed me. We waited out the storm together.

The dock is more crowded than I thought it would be. But this was the best place for a sunset picture. The calm flat water offered a reflective surface like a giant mirror. And the sunset will be gorgeous once the colors of the setting sun hugs the clouds and gets sandwiched between the water and sky.

Reaching Out
I promise her. I'd do anything for her. She's my mom. Even as Lanie and Deanna are flying home, Mom is scrappy fighting dying. She lays too still in that too-big bed with all the toasty white hospital blankets, in the south tower, at the broad end of a long slow-turning corner that delivers me again to her private room with the view she can't see through, with the beeping that tells us nothing new, and all these ice chips she can't swallow, and a flood of well-intentioned nurses who cannot do a damned thing all the same.

117 — The Day the Whispers Began
The day the whispers began was the last day of Ramadan. Many--almost two billion people--believed Gabriel was bestowing new revelations. Only those who had fasted heard, but the whispers were unintelligible, felt to be some exotic dialect, long extinct.
