hands a band-aid over the

wounds of past regrets.
Don’t sell yourself short.
Those who can’t see your worth chew
your soul to pieces.
The man who fell to
earth left us too soon, stardust
in Major Tom’s wake.
With a ticket comes
hope, and since I’m ticketless,
I’m hopeless and lost.
Dandelion seed
responsibilities float
away on each breath
Light breaks. I heed the
call to darkness, cup rich black
magic in my hands.
Weighing sleep against
productivity, I write
into a new day.
Booths shelter those hung
over, elbows tacky with
pancake syrup spills.
Short-term guests in my
fridge, pantry, cabinet — but just
until they are served.
Domestic mountains
rimmed with grime, sponge scaling this
Everest of suds.
