It’s the morning of a different day—who knew there’d be another?
Lisa and I went on our harbor jog @ 5am—that’s nothing new.
It was, like 44°—we’re enjoying fall’s cold, refreshing bite.
Anyway, my mind wasn’t on it and I nearly stumbled over
a chunk of dark, uneven roadway, made invisible by its function.
Charles, jogging beside me, wordlessly managed

RUNNING AROUND-DOESN'T MEAN JOGGING
RUNNING AROUND - DOESN’T MEAN JOGGING
Glad I said it because I could,
could finally say “goodbye.”
Hearing the words needed to say,
was painful … can’t deny.
I loved him once, so very much,
he meant the world to me.
I know one day, he’ll soon become,
a shadowed … memory.
At first, I was so confident,
that he belonged to me.
I was seeing

Jogging From Memory
I’m an old guy jogging
like Joe Biden, kind of goofy looking.
The wind is dragging its feet,
the sun is frying sweat again.
I like to rock on the porch
shopping in my mind
for stuff too expensive to actually buy,
but out here people stare,
young girls giggle,
dogs sniff and yap, some attack.
I get a runners fizzy-dizzy,
then cuss under my breath.
I

Always With You
Rest in peace. People gather around to pay homage. Every one gets busy! I feel the soul’s craving for solace. Probably the last few minutes, the most precious moments, when the soul can say “Good Bye!”.
I curiously asked mom, “what would you do, after you die?"
To this she replied:
Don’t mourn, when I die,
If you feel

Jogging
I jogged, one foot after the other,
Lungs wide open to welcome,
Breathings of the warm evening air,
Eyes stung at the touch of
Cruel sweat, saturated and salty.
I jogged, a flat branch overhead,
My left arm reached out to touch
The tree and its clippings,
Dwindling down the serpent's throat,
Though my fingers were amiss.
I jogged, against the moving air,
Soles hitting the
