one day at a time
I’ll win back my little one
(no longer little)
My Mythili
one day at a time
I’ll win back my little one
(no longer little)
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).
Puppy Thoughts
Mama, a salad?
is that what i wanted?
you know me better
instead i’ll cuddle
as sweet as the day is long
keeping your night warm
How Should I Live?
like La Reina
finding comfort in each space
no matter size; sun
Snowprints
before dawn arrives
the snow still touches the sky
with white fingertips
Mountain-Eating Clouds
the bowl is open
for us to earn winter skins
winter wind and all
Shadows and Needles
like leftover trees
after Christmas joy is gone
this is our country
