(Apr 7) Went to visit my mother.

now in hadley
My mother’s new home

trees in the middle of trees
There’s a park across the street

but of course i did
Beyond the park, a trail. I’m probably not supposed to follow it.

a bit of something
The journey ended badly for a traveler before me

the hudson is everywhere
Then I ran into the Hudson

but hardly clean
It’s cleaner than the Gowanus Canal, at least.

moving power
There were a lot of these “utility pole trees”.

my great grandparents
My mother has some photos of long ago

it was the fourth of july
I was about 11 years old at the time.

The holidays are really starting to feel like a chore. I wish it weren’t so. I’ve come to understand I can change this, but that too, feels like a chore.

I decorated again this year. Or rather, I “decorated” in 2000 or so, and I haven’t un-decorated since.

mommy made this for me

Christmas morning, I turned on the fireplace. It’s so much easier than putting up a tree.
