Her view from the hill
– once so fine in good weather –
just blackened landscapes.

San Diego fire
Anne emails to say
smoke plumes rise like shrouds of loss.
Below, hell ablaze.
Problem
In bad rains bathroom
ceiling leaks. A slow tick tells
of water stains mapped.
Can’t sleep 6
At 6:30 they
awake to find I’m still up.
The curse of deadlines.
Can’t sleep 5
Insomnia has
tattooed across my eyelids
its wide-awake stare.
Disbelief
Can it be midnight?
I’m losing track of time, hours
misplaced like lost keys.
Morph
You think you know me.
Carefully constructed, I
reinvent daily.
Online
Anonymity
becomes us all as we put
our second life first.
Writer’s block
Some days the words spread
smoothly. Other days they stick,
like peanut butter.
Cyberjunkie
I live for numbers.
Check my website stats hourly.
Page view addicted.
