You’re gone, leaving class
mates to learn that last lesson:
life can be too short.
Mike’s death
Liked by all, no one
knows why he veered off the road
toward eternity.
Two hours of sleep
Eyes red focus shot
totally worthless but I
still need that paycheck.
Dizziness diagnosis
He feared brain blood clots
but it’s labyrinthitis.
He’ll live after all.
Stocking shelves
She spent the day in
aisle 6, cold flu remedies,
wellness boxed, bottled.
Dizzy
Why his head spins he
doesn’t know. Vertigo’s made
the world hell’s fun house.
Hope
Dark fear crackling at
the edges, the heart beats on,
pulsing core of light.
Snow blind
Spiraling flakes, like
small hands opening wide, feel
their way down to earth.
Afternoon rendezvous
She blithely sails out
the door. No explanations
save her secret smile.
