waiting for the news
that as bad as things are
they have just become
catastrophically worse,
and as I sit here waiting,
waiting for the news
that as bad as things are
they have just become
catastrophically worse
there are so many
emails I must respond to.

Loop back what my exes teach me
Shift gears spin wheels all too soon
“Your hands are shaking,” a wreck & ruin,
I wish I could say it won’t happen again
But that’s what I’d thought with all of them
So I’ll nod & smile & sip my drink—
Cover twitches with a wink.

just the lightness of breeze
to cool caress the skin
and I'm holding
your hand
there is the sound
of an occasional car
the balderdash
of children
crickets, stars,
the whispering of trees,
and beams
of the ever-loving moon
and time?
what of it?
what of it?
I am with you

Wise it is not
The hermit retreats
Far from it
No matter how spooked
We cannot
Someone’s got to stay
And tidy up
Clear the rubble
And rebuild
The children
They will need
New playgrounds

We all named it a “learning curve,”
Myself a slow learner
I gripped the wheel and didn’t swerve.

there is place I cannot inhabit
my mind cannot map
into yours
Don't you know
that loving you
wasn't a choice
or an option?
I just took a breath
and you were in my lungs
then in my blood
so why are there times
my heart aches
for just a kind word
but your lips
are numb

Cake and cork,
I get so cozy,
Cuddled up close,
Cooried doon,
With cords and connection,
Cutely and calmly,
Quietly I cackle—
“Murder.”
