Long Physical therapy Poems

Kentucky's late summer sunshine
sunk deep into their skin
as the boy rode on the back
of his Grandfather's coppered horse,
the tobacco harvest would begin soon,
aromas of sweet leaf darkness
were wafting in the field heat,
to the big barn...

Why can I not write?
I am overwhelmed	
By the minutiae of everyday life!
Dawn comes, and I awake, but no!
I pull the covers over my head
And close my eyes tightly

Knitting
but not garden expansions.

Physical therapy
but not yoga
and not chi gong,
much less mindful meditations
sung in four part harmony.

The new guy,
just growing into sixty-five,
asked them
How...

What with the ferry, shuttle, a
Twenty-minute walk, sometimes the bus,
Just to see him for a couple of hours. 
Sometimes he’s not doing well
Or is sleeping while I’m there.
It’s been such...

Physical Therapy.

This has a meaning and a term.
It's such a bitch.
I'm sure you're gonna regret it later?
Nah I'm sure I'll find a new way of living.

Reach Out
In sailing the fastest tack is a broad reach,
Sails both billowing and bird's wings,
Wind pushing, lifting, hull raising to plane screech,
