Mom’s casual embrace
Longing to hug them,
I wait ’til they flutter near
like moths to my flame.
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.
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.
Reflection
Dressing room mirror
replaced by funhouse looking
glass. Not me in there.
Writer’s strike
Reality makes
me sick. Going through laugh track
cop show withdrawal.
Forced
Disappointment like
a kidney punch makes it hard
to smile through the pain.
