drizzle, fire

walked with Suzanne
Michigan Road, Pound Ridge,
a light drizzle

legs felt springy, sturdy
although short of breath
on the minor hills

so much to share –
downsizing, the spark of joy,
the ancient Greeks and human darkness

returning to her place
readied for painting
we retreat to her study

many topics – yoga, art,
historical context
tea and snacks, cozy fire
