House Colors and Memorial Day

Why not celebrate Kenyan runners, veterans and brilliant house colors,
it's a beautiful day in Boulder, Colorado, the tomatoes are planted
and stores are closed. 
No way to go get seeds or more paint colors, so it's decided, then.
We remember those who have died, those we have loved, those
who suffer, those who rejoice in life, we remember our ancestors,
to mow the lawn and to go to the movies and hold hands with someone
we love, we remember those we love today but who are elsewhere,
The house will be toothpaste green and lavender, yellow and white,
she will gleam in the sun and everyone will smile at us,
we remember the names of the blooms, the irises, poppies and peonies,
remember us as we remember you.
