Lunar eclipse

Luminous  suitor,
the moon dimmed by darkness’s
seductive regard.

When she’s sick

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

Raveled sleave of care

Fever distorts time.
Sleep the tesseract that jumps
illness to wellness.

You look great

Bright lipstick fools them
into thinking I’m well. No
“How do you feel?”

Senseless

After the illness
taste dulls on the tongue, food just
fuel to run this husk.

Insomniac

Clock ticks ricochet
like bullets of sound slowing
as the hour grows late.

Advertising

Want like a burr that
catches your attention for
something you don’t need.

Misty mountain hop

Dawn the breath of a
new day paused when night exhales
sunrise dimmed by fog.

Reflection

Dressing room mirror
replaced by funhouse looking
glass. Not me in there.

Oceanic Flight 815

Crashed. Met Tailies. Then
Others. Hatch blew up.  Kate caged.
Got Lost about there.
