Simple things

Contentment is the
sound of a dog on a couch,
snoring with gusto

Tomorrow

Opportunity
is knocking. Finally, I
will open the door.

Wabi-sabi

To possess few things,
humble in beauty and worth.
Such simplicity.

Essential

The spareness of what
I write contrasts with my
cluttered existence.

Midnight

Home from the party
they’re luminous like fireflies
settling down to sleep.

The director at 17

Their lives loves failures
all source material for
future film projects.

Can’t sleep 2

Switching to vampire
office hours. In bed past noon.
I write without light.

Can’t sleep

Is it the green tea
or the excitement of new
possibilities?

Scarred

The third degree burns,
generated by love that
intense, never heal.

Balance

Juggling emotions,
we catch happiness with one hand,
sadness the other.
