34 TODAY
lawn overdue
weeds have reclaimed
planting areas
roses gangly reach
papery comb in corner
of front door
wasp mother can't be far
air inside stale
unbreathed
appliances unplugged
well rested
mailbox empty except
for one flyer
have you seen me?
I always look closely
I'm 34 today
spent most of the day
driving home

Happy Birthday! Hopefully your card arrives today. May you have a wonderful 34th year - we both love you!
Hi Bill and Nancy - the card is probably going to arrive today with a slew of stopped mail. Thanks! We hope the wedding went well . . .
Love,
Julia
Happy birthday, j.b.! Love that last stanza. 34 is a great age to be "driving home."
Yeah Amy - even with the post-vacation blues - it's nice to come home. Thanks for the birthday wishes!
