Should I say what I
feel, or what attracts readers?
Tempting to sell out.
I keep coming to
post like a lover checking
for text messages.
Silence erases
thoughts and stress like dry markers
wiped clean from white boards.
Kmart opens at
4am. Outlet mall at
midnight. Who needs sleep?
Don’t count calories.
Savor silken pumpkin, tart
cranberries. Taste joy.
We are all in search
of the quote that defines us.
Self in sentence form.
Why this ache, an itch
no hand can scratch, a splinter
no tweezer can pull?
Times like these, a hot
cup of tea, a soft blanket
is all that’s needed.
A blowtorch melting
a block of ice from within,
pain made transparent.
Like a cracked eggshell,
once broken it cannot be
redeemed nor reforged.
