Feeling fat

Going to New York
to be on TV. Need new
clothes. A tent would work.

Lair of the pack rat

HGTV shows
designer homes while I nest
in my own clutter.

Midnight munchies

To eat or not to
eat? My stomach says yes, my
hips scream don’t you dare.

A little obsessed

I keep coming to
post like a lover checking
for text messages.

Yearning

Why this ache, an itch
no hand can scratch, a splinter
no tweezer can pull?

Regret

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

Thanksgiving – division of labor

They’ll watch football. We’ll
cook. Men and women. Hunters
and gatherers still.

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 procrastination

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