Unorthodox repairs

scratches on the floor

treated and cured with walnuts

imagine

their oil spreading

on hardwood

things I never expect to do in late middle age

the constant surprise

of life unfolding like this

each unique moment

a present in which

God hides, smiling

    It was great to hear you read this yesterday, Frank! (I think we’d need a lot of walnuts for our floors.)
