Flooded

Flooded with Shades of Blue and Green

Tiny watercolor print

“Lilacs & calendula”

coffee mug

“Bad ass women”

Post-its

important things not to forget

Paint supply bucket

Crumpled paper towel with blotches of like colors

A note from a loved one

Robin’s egg blue

Nearly forgotten business cards

old Vermont address

I miss Vermont

only one state away

I see it nearly daily

through the woods and

across the teal river

Raging & roaring

Churning brown

Flooding greens

Now receding

Damage done

Local businesses and residents persisted through

Irene- that b*tch

COVID- what a mother-f**ker

Hopefully the little state resilience persists

and they return

Under blue skies
