The Windy City
carries aloft a million
dreams on fierce updrafts.

Feeling fat
Going to New York
to be on TV. Need new
clothes. A tent would work.
Lair of the pack rat
HGTV shows
designer homes while I nest
in my own clutter.
Midnight munchies
To eat or not to
eat? My stomach says yes, my
hips scream don’t you dare.
A little obsessed
I keep coming to
post like a lover checking
for text messages.
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.
Thanksgiving – division of labor
They’ll watch football. We’ll
cook. Men and women. Hunters
and gatherers still.
Trust
Like a cracked eggshell,
once broken it cannot be
redeemed nor reforged.
Depression
Heavy blanket weighs
you down, yet cocoons you. Why
bother to crawl out?
