Kokako, 2026


fireside story—
the last log crackles
into the ending

mountain hike—
the stars I never
named before


wooden planks
in the flooded river
drifting away
the scattered remains
of our dream house


white butterflies
in mom’s kitchen garden
fluttering around
when she returns home
after her full recovery
