Carbs like clouds. When gone
clarity returns. Blue sky
thinking open mind.

Past life public

Looking back I find
this old friend, written record
for the world to view

Abandoned blog

Held back by your tight
seventeen syllable leash,
I write elsewhere now.

Driving cross country

West Coast starting line
pavement our road map we head
east back to our roots.

Friendship

Despite my darkest
moods you reach out, take my hand,
and lead me toward hope.

Depression

Bright summer days no
friend to sadness. Solace lies
in winter’s dark chill.

On cutting off long hair

Strands layered, length chopped,
I change, shed years, fears, regrets.
Why’d I wait so long?

Sufficient

Some days it’s enough:
an absent child’s return, a
dog’s rapt love, a kiss.

Nostalgia

She cried at the film’s
end, remembering how much
she’d once loved the book.
