Survived a six-week vacation
in downtown Gary, Indiana
Bucket lists these days
have gone bananas
As I get older
My wish lists get
Smaller and smaller
What I really want
Can't be bought with money.
Life is short;
Dare to love,
Dare to hate.
I love you,
You love me,
Love you all.
Don't let pass
Second chances,
Thrown away.
Thrive to live,
Live each day,
Reach each goal.
lists, lists, lists
everywhere the lists!
of things to do,
of things to buy,
of buckets to fill
before I die,
of things that cause
my eyes to mist,
of things that make me
question why
while gazing
in the bluest sky
I still might dare
to shake my fist

Comfortable silence
Conversations
made by our eyes
Bodies that intertwine
like souls who've met
before our time
Long loving laughter
that feels up a room
Time stands still
just to watch us kiss
with intention
Fear escapes us here
Stresses neglect us
Certainty is mine dear
I made a list of things to do
And said to myself it’s up to you
Painstaking in its making
None of it will find the earth a-quaking
So I look to do each one
Now’s the time I should have begun
For my list is just a reminder of things
That when completed I will find the joy it brings.

*(a poem in Senryus)*
You don’t have to count,
when you lose a boyfriend, you
know. There was just one.
He was gone before
I knew it - he wasn’t, you know,
tied up or anything.
For a moment I
toy with saying, “Alexa, add
rope to my shopping list."
In High School boyfriends
come and go - it's like shopping
- where you return things.
It was 35 Diggers dead each day
Of the Great War for they volunteered to stay
Mounting a total to 60,000 the cost
Each one a son or daughter of the Southern Cross lost
From a country of five million souls strong
416,809 enlisted to the battle front long
And lastly 156,000 became casualties
For us, for freedom the sacrifice was not free.

A brand new year
To now attend
To modes of cheer
That unfurl plans
A time to make
A lost of things
That drive a stake
In sanguine flings
A way to see
The rainbow stains
In harmony
When sun greets rain
A space to check
On wants and needs
In choice of tact
As zest sows seeds
A touch of will
To frame appeal
In silence still
That gently heals
