Elevate the Alphabet
Anxiety, like a prickly pear, flows
Breathe in, breathe out
Cut out the fluff
Daffodils open
escalating duties
Find a path to reconciliation.
Grey clouds blanket the sky from morning to morning
Her voice, my muse, is low and I
can barely hear her
I don’t need the whole plan.
Just one more swipe, one more click, one more
Kilograms of stewing beef
Long past the days of youth.
Mossy branches
native grasses, without reason;
One hundred and five
Plan and rehearse
Quickly from the church
Resurrection.
Sugar snap peas
Then I curse your name (and his)
for what you did (and didn’t do),
Use a strict order, a rhythm and a rhyme. Not!
Venture on the dyke, to search
Why can’t we stay here forever?
Xenon, and not Krypton.
Your love. You are down the road. That road, we all travel
Zero ground expected.
I remember less and less of what’s important,
I have had enough.
