Spring equinox

Days grow longer like
smiles that stretch wider as one
greets a long lost friend.

Tina Fey’s new black

Reclaiming the word,
she grabs the bitch by the horns
and makes us all proud.

That you’ve found me and
read my life in seventeen
syllables floors me.

Like a lover who
wanders I return here to
check in now and them

In mourning early morning

J9 can’t sleep since
her mother died stays up and
writes heartache in tears.

Sympathy pain

He drank to excess
so why am I the one with
the splitting headacne?

Wasted Saturday night

We watch bad TV
eat microwave popcorn feel
guilty not really.

Mom’s casual embrace

Longing to hug them,
I wait ’til they flutter near
like moths to my flame.

Winter break

We sleep late and do
little. Spend quality time.
Together, enough.

When she’s sick

Teenager curled up
becomes baby J who’s glad
that mommy’s  nearby.
