From 2019
Again
Again it begins. /
Chemotherapy cocktail. /
“My eyelids sweat,” she said.

Winter
Dusk hung in her mind. /
Blood red painted against the sky. /
Winter mood unfolds.

Rumples
Rumpled clouds, unmade /
head, autumn morning chirping, /
filled with tousled light.

Words
Rain speaks with words clear /
that pool on the Earth, until /
in full reflection.

Dear 2023
Dear 2023,
What type of year will you be?
Wild and free
Or consternating me?
O’ 2023,
Could I have a word?
Is it absurd
For me not to have heard
What type of year you will be?
I don’t want to own you.
Not even bone you
But if I phone you,
Would you be the right date for me?

New Year’s Eve
Tomorrow somewhere /
a New Year has begun. Here /
the old treatments linger.

Whelmed (dad joke, number 4)
Happy to see you. /
First, right amount of whelmed. Then, /
I was over it.

Dad joke, number 2
A dad joke, you can /
always tell, but never can /
you tell it, “Can can.”
