Dead tired

Every night I
play Russian Roulette with sleep
instead of bullets.

Boob tube

I lock the TV
behind the armoire doors so
I can get work done.

Deadline

Some days it feels like
all I do is sit on this
couch and write for hours.

Trick or treat 2

Halloween spirit
eludes me, like the ghost of
someone I once loved.

Overworked

When the going gets
tough, I end up sleeping on
the couch, fully clothed.

Daylight savings time

Turn the clocks back next
week? I could use that extra
hour of sleep right now…

Clothing exchange

Suddenly it’s too
chilly to wear a tshirt.
Autumn’s in the house.

San Diego fire 12 -11:20 pm EST

Nighttime landscapes blaze.
Lines of fire on hillsides trace
borders of life death.

San Diego fire 11 – Waiting

No word from Anne. I
am not one for prayer, but
put hands together.

San Diego fire 10 – Anne’s hometown

Oh, God…CNN
is in Spring Valley, shooting
by Vons grocery.
