Along dusty road

Along dusty road
a snail states slow down and breathe
lined by Cypress Pine

It began with lunch

It began with lunch:
"You know what your problem is?"
It ended in tears.

Warm afternoon breeze

Warm afternoon breeze
as the equinox draws near
seasons are shifting

Wings wave amid cries

Wings wave amid cries
they explode into the sky
morning breaks like surf

You are in my thoughts

You are in my thoughts
asking difficult questions
can I hope to hide?

Keeping the blinds closed

Keeping the blinds closed
avoiding my commitments
hiding from the world

Sharing gratitude

Sharing gratitude
for picking meal and movie
my children enjoyed

Moving furniture

Moving furniture
hoping to freshen my room
moved it back again

Inadequate words

Inadequate words
avoiding definition
thoughts without labels

The Junto this week

The Junto this week
music for insomnia
hope it works for me

Under ancient light

Under ancient light
alone in the universe
among many stars

She moves in the sea

She moves in the sea
stirring the tides and their waves
she moves in me too

Put the sensual

Put the sensual
back into consensual
make your move with swoon

Her twitch at my touch

Her twitch at my touch
betwixt and without the sheets
bewitching twitches

Sold a drum machine

Sold a drum machine
spent the money on my love
bought essential oils

There's a storm outside

There's a storm outside
hiding my thoughts from the world
my guilty pleasure

A downpour of rain

A downpour of rain
the streets flooded with puddles
thunder and lightning

The first sound of spring

The first sound of spring
as I walk the streets at night
the croaking of frogs

We loop the dark park

We loop the dark park
the birds seems restless as me
this time of the year

A letter arrives

A letter arrives
I'm summoned before the courts
my jury duty

My approach unseen

My approach unseen
I drag my foot a little
so I can be heard

A beeping wakes me

A beeping wakes me
early on Sunday morning
incessant pissant

To introduce food

To introduce food
a new family tradition
called Satur-noodle
