Clean sweep
My spare bedroom holds
many possibilities
under all that junk.
Protection
Soldiers wear helmets.
Women wear makeup, styled hair.
Our mode of defense.
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.”
Survivor – Family Holidays
Two tribes – In-laws and
Parents – force you to over-
eat, then watch TV.
Weight watchers
On weigh-in day I’d
inhale helium if it
would make me lighter.
Chicago
The Windy City
carries aloft a million
dreams on fierce updrafts.
