your home -

It falls softly as it tumbles...
Down from the sky darkly...
Deep in the heart of midnight.

Not a deity stirs at this moment out of time.
As young eyes stare into the void of an empty room.

She raised her glass 
to a space of fragrance 
gifts of perfumers and chefs 
bees for our banquet. 

"Tonight we dance." 

Her glass rose 
and so did theirs. 

"Outside this stained window

Fool is substituted for intended word

It has been a beautiful day,
warm and true and you've played
through the bulk of it. Now! 
Get to work, earn your keep!

It was the night before Thanksgiving, had 
trouble sleeping, counting sheep don’t work…

Kept thinking of the leftovers that we would have,

Once life was fun, back when I was young.
Always on the go, and depression I did not know.
Then came the challenge of raising my kids, 
trying to understand the weird things they did.
Then came divorce,...

Emotions running fast and I'm not one to encourage exercise, but I want to be healthy
But my health...

My children turn into giant puppies.
They run outside and catch flakes on their tongues.
They roll around making snow angels without coats.

Their cheeks are pink with cold in...

Isn't it funny how people panic
Over the trivial, the mundane?
When there are bigger issues
About which we could complain.

Extolling virtues of veganism with missionary zeal,
Day in day out...

By hope beyond hoping,
Desperately groping

the dark sphere quivering my soul
Making itself surround and...
