Regret

A blowtorch melting
a block of ice from within,
pain made transparent.

Trust

Like a cracked eggshell,
once broken it cannot be
redeemed nor reforged.

Depression

Heavy blanket weighs
you down, yet cocoons you. Why
bother to crawl out?

Thanksgiving dilemma

If you clear out the
fridge for the turkey, then where’s
the other food go?

Thanksgiving procrastination

Canned pumpkin sold out.
Damned overachievers! I’m
a “last-minute” type.

Procrastination

I start out strong with
good intentions. Sit at the
computer. Day’s shot.

Hillary Clinton

Don’t you know no girls
allowed? Threaten the big boys,
they call you a bitch.

John McCain & the B word

I’d have crossed party
lines for you ’til today. Where
was your chivalry?

Unspoken

Secrets like splinters
lodged down deep tear you apart
from the inside out.

To do list

I jot on random
scraps, then lose them. No wonder
I don’t get things done.
