If you had to pick,
what sense would you sacrifice?
Impossible choice.

Fifth sense
Could I love you if
we did not touch, if I did
not mark you as mine?
Unbroken
The house of my heart
is white, clean, pure. No windows,
doors. No visitors.
Oh Christmas tree
We bring it home, put
it on life support so we
can hang ornaments.
Christmas tree lot
Sad orphans ripped from
the forest stretch out their limbs
pleading, ‘Take *me* home.”
Deal or no deal
TV’s “Fisherman
and His Wife” story for our
times. Unalloyed greed.
Lori Drew rationalizes
“She hurt my daughter,
so I wanted to hurt her.

Weight watchers
On weigh-in day I’d
inhale helium if it
would make me lighter.
Yearning
Why this ache, an itch
no hand can scratch, a splinter
no tweezer can pull?
Regret
A blowtorch melting
a block of ice from within,
pain made transparent.
