a boil for
tomorrow's
leftover meal...

The burst soapsuds dissipate. Six doves outside my window Enjoy their meal, congregate. Wings whirr, head to the gingko Baby phoebes see surroundings. With wide mouths expose tastebuds Hunger each day compounding! I look, then see burst soapsuds
So much happening outside my kitchen window view that I forget the dishwater is getting cold and chores going undone. June 20, 2023...

Waiting For You
Waiting for you
Is listening to the tap dripping
Into a sink full of cold dishwater

Waiting for you
Is watching a cockroach
Cautiously poking its feelers
Out from under the fridge

Waiting for you
Is feeling a cold pain in my fingers
And a hot pain in the small of my back

Waiting for you
Tastes like an aluminium spoon
And smells like a damp rotting floor mop
Waiting for you
Seems never to stop
Waiting for you
Is

		Unpleasant.
