Cancer is Winter: /
Hard on the outer shell /
Opens inner seeds.

Openings
Holes and promises,
openings undone until
fulfilled.

“The Old Man”
The Old Man
There was an old man who lived in a sign. /
His wife wouldn’t join him because she wouldn’t cosine. /
Now she lives adjacent to an empty hypotenuse. /
Her life a tangent somewhat on the loose.

“Ode to chocolate”
Today is National Chocolate Cake Day and National Inane Answering Message Day or NIAD (Nigh-Add) for short.
So, go have a piece or two or chocolate cake and record this on your voicemail:
“I had cake. It was great.
Leave a message and I may relate.
Vanilla’s fine. Strawberry, too.
But chocolate’s the only one that’ll do.
Chocolate cake and chocolate frosting.
Chocolate from beginning to topping.
Leave a message after the beep,
Unless you’re a salesman or some beep-beep creep.”

“Cat”
Cat
Cat curled on a bench, /
gray fur against gray stone. /
Gray winter surrounds.

“Web”
Web
Tangled web of limbs /
bare beneath a shrouded moon /
full, with winter dreams.
