Holding On

a soft Saturday 
to soften life’s hard edges
with kindness and calm

Sludge

my life in a meal:
always trying for the pic
always missing it

(Im)permanence

this choice will break me
no matter what i decide.
so i should decide. 

(Re)solution

ironic notice

as the words come flooding in

(yet i can’t stop them)

no. i had no plan.

no plan for any of this.

(nor a solution).

How Should I Live?

like La Reina

finding comfort in each space

no matter size; sun

Shadows and Needles

like leftover trees

after Christmas joy is gone

this is our country

Puffed Pockets of Hope

kitty loves jackets

Patagonia-repaired

perfectly pink warmth

January 6, 2021

my kitty comfort

is no comfort on this day

(day of infamy)

It’s Been a Year…

and the wheels still spin

and we try and wish and blow

and hope for a change

Childrearing Forwarding

parenting problems

don’t end when the kids grow up

(they can still break you)
