Silence erases
thoughts and stress like dry markers
wiped clean from white boards.
I really should start
dinner. But husband’s gone, so

4am. Outlet mall at
midnight. Who needs sleep?

of the quote that defines us.
Self in sentence form.
Why this ache, an itch
no hand can scratch, a splinter
no tweezer can pull?
Times like these, a hot
cup of tea, a soft blanket
is all that’s needed.
