Longing
Sitting on a branch, /
the fat Robin of morning, /
longing for cat food.

Embrace
My hand passes through /
my thoughts, my time, my love. /
Still, I embrace you.

Lambent

Remnant dream
Remnant winter art, /
sunflower stalk stands alone, /
withered summer dream.

With you I wish /
to share this last piece of cake — /
but not now.

Dismantling
Dismantling the tree: /
ornaments, lights, memories. /
Packing the past. /
No music to comfort me. /
Watch what the sock monkey sees.

Happy Eve
Happy Triskaidekaphobia Eve
To all who practice and believe.
Beware now that sidewalk crack
For you may break your mother’s back.
You’ve probably already broken her heart,
With your non replies or answers smart.
So she has now visited upon you
This Friday day over which to stew.
The Ides of March did Caesar in,
His conspirators waited until the middle to begin.
But this Friday and this thirteen
Stabs without antagonist seen.
There is always one and up to three
To torment you, to not let you be.
So, gird your loins and be on your guard,
Lest you be hoisted by your own petard.

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