A little obsessed

I keep coming to
post like a lover checking
for text messages.

Meditative mind

Silence erases
thoughts and stress like dry markers
wiped clean from white boards.

Starving writer

I really should start
dinner. But husband’s gone, so
I’ll just blog and starve.

Thanksgiving – after dinner

Post-tryptophan, we
watch Forrest Gump and digest
the day’s memories.

Description

We are all in search
of the quote that defines us.
Self in sentence form.

Yearning

Why this ache, an itch
no hand can scratch, a splinter
no tweezer can pull?

Comfort

Times like these, a hot
cup of tea, a soft blanket
is all that’s needed.

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.

Existence

Accomplishment is
a relative term. You live,
breathe, think. That’s enough.
