Now I blog somewhere
else. A paid professional,
thousands read my work.
Today it didn’t
happen. But I thought it would.
What does Facade say?
Breakfast meeting. Lunch
meeting. Outside, homeless men
plead, Will work for food.
We’ve shut the windows.
Pulled out sweaters, pulled on socks.
A fall admission.
I was first published
in Seventeen magazine
thirty years ago.
Cold rain heralded
her return. Killing frost trails
her, biding his time.
My new business cards,
bearing my new title, all
printed with typos.
To possess few things,
humble in beauty and worth.
Such simplicity.
The spareness of what
I write contrasts with my
cluttered existence.
