Weighing sleep against
productivity, I write
into a new day.
Some–like white wine–are
best when young. My French Bordeaux
grows better with age.
He’s prettier than
her, constantly sculpting his
man bun with groomed hands.
Strands layered, length chopped,
I change, shed years, fears, regrets.
Why’d I wait so long?
Some days it’s enough:
an absent child’s return, a
dog’s rapt love, a kiss.
Spiraling flakes, like
small hands opening wide, feel
their way down to earth.
She blithely sails out
the door. No explanations
save her secret smile.
Dull lives filtered take
on romance, mystery, masked by
Low-fi Sutro Rise.
Earthy smell of fresh
mud awakens winter-dulled
senses like coffee.
