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.
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.
Afterwards
We discuss the soul,
ponder death’s postlude, then choose
the happy ending.
Upon reading the work of a great writer
Breathless, punched in the
gut seeing language evolve,
my own words falter.
Two hours of sleep
Eyes red focus shot
totally worthless but I
still need that paycheck.
Stocking shelves
She spent the day in
aisle 6, cold flu remedies,
wellness boxed, bottled.
Hope
Dark fear crackling at
the edges, the heart beats on,
pulsing core of light.
