Can’t sleep 7
I said I’d be in
bed by ten. Then midnight. Now
it’s one. How ’bout three?
Boob tube
I lock the TV
behind the armoire doors so
I can get work done.
Deadline
Some days it feels like
all I do is sit on this
couch and write for hours.
J’s collapse
Home sick, she lies in
bed, stomach queasy, still in
her day-before clothes.

Halloween spirit
eludes me, like the ghost of
someone I once loved.
Overworked
When the going gets
tough, I end up sleeping on
the couch, fully clothed.
Bride of Frankenstein
The review called her
‘fetching’ – wrapped in bandages,
convulsing, bleeding.
Clothing exchange
Suddenly it’s too
chilly to wear a tshirt.
Autumn’s in the house.
Upstate New York
Hurricanes…wildfires…
tornadoes…earthquakes…not here.
Safe beyond measure.
