December 20, 2022

Falling in love is like swallowing grains of sand
to recover the pebble you skipped across the pond

by your childhood home, the ripples setting in
motion every marvel, every horror of your life;

Distraction
December 15, 2022

After work, I rest in the wispy warmth of a waning
December sun. On the table by the window, piles

of half-read books leer at me and I at them.
In the fading light, a hawk swoops by, hungry.

Hungry, I reach for my phone; looking down,
I spot a pile of dust, make a note to sweep it up

Opening Line
December 11, 2022

Last night I dreamt of the perfect opening line
to a poem that would, I had no doubt, piece

back together the crumbling world. It was a line
that drew you in, breathless, that made you drop

everything—coffee, that online shopping cart
one click from arriving at your door—and pay…

How Much a Kiss Can Release
November 29, 2022

Mind abuzz, body stiff, I take
my meds and wait for rest. For
by now the clouds have come
and gone and brought no rain,
the dishes are put away, all
juice squeezed from the day…

Don’t Get Me Wrong
November 25, 2022

“The only difference between a flower and a weed is judgement.” – Wayne Dyer I have mistaken Ragweed for Goldenrod, alleyways for gardens, watched them torn out, make way for something better. I have asked what better is, been taught […]

November 24, 2022

If I had my
way, I suppose there would be no shorelines,

no dying light sinking into bruised-blue lakes, no
dead poets, no Libraries of Alexandria…

Election
November 6, 2022

It’s Fall on an even-numbered year
which means an election looms, again.

We wander pumpkin patches, corn mazes, haunted
houses, make holiday plans, think what gifts to give.

Windows
August 27, 2022

I wish to sit by the window and read—but not
outside, where UV rays intrude, and wildfire
smoke, and gunfire, and bird-shit dropped

at random. In my mind’s eye the outdoors
wounds but does not break the skin…

Sincerely
August 14, 2022

Dearest, I meant to prove myself worthy of every challenge, up to death itself. The day began with feats of strength, like getting out of bed and brushing my teeth. I took till noon to venture out; by then the […]

Wounded
June 30, 2022

I found a cricket in my kitchen, wounded, on its back,
little legs flailing as if it could walk upside down. I heard..

no chirps, no yelps of pain, no cries for help;
I lacked the heart to crush him. Gently, I carried him
