how we have changed

over the years

with imperfections

windfall apples

on the porch

woodsmoke

the memory of you

in each corner

Mona Bedi

summer breeze

the girl in a red dress

lets out a yawn


Mona Bedi

bonsai all my shortcomings


Mona Bedi

rose prickles

nothing comes easy

in this life


Mona Bedi

Mona Bedi

making up

for lost time

plum blossoms

Mona Bedi

incessant rain letting the river be

Mona Bedi

reheated coffee the conversation gone cold

Mona Bedi

Mona Bedi

lunar eclipse

the frayed edges

of her memory


Mona Bedi

airport clocks —

all the places

i could be

Mona Bedi

the lives we endure swirling tea leaves


Mona Bedi

how slowly the night descends lullaby moon

spring equinox

the time it takes to fall

out of love

somewhere the call

of a loon

in every lane

for comfort

wayward wind

learning to be

indifferent
