“Balance”

Balance

Life is a balance /

along a picket fence — /

one step at a time.

“Molten”

Molten

Red, molten morning /

Umber clouds seethe in the sky /

Umbrage at the sun.

Empty, weathered house. /

Time has come and all have left, /

carrying echoes.

“Neulasta snapping”

Neulasta snapping

Delayed beginning. /

Sinking gap, healing touch. /

Neulasta snapping.

“O’ (un)holy Krampus Night”

O’ (un)holy Krampus Night.

There is a being named Krampus

Who this night comes for some of us.

Some of us will go

To where, we don’t know

But that will leave more gifts for the rest of us.

“Good eats”

Good eats

I’m nuts about here. /

Sunflower seeds are healthy, /

Help me scatter birds.

“Again”

Again

Again it begins. /

Chemotherapy cocktail. /

“My eyelids sweat,” she said.

“Memory”

Memory

Last night’s rain lingers, /

each drop a short memory /

left on dying leaves.

Rumpled clouds, unmade /

filled with tousled light.

How immense the sky. /
