Summer Doldrums

Long days drag deep, test 
me to my bones; they hurt too.
Still, the flowers bloom.

On Days When Emotions Erupt


calamine lotion
phisohex soaks, itchy ooze 
poison ivy hell

~ ~ ~

Johnson's Paste Wax (floors)
wooden spoon on knuckles:  smack!
wash dishes. repeat.

~ ~ ~ 

round dent in hall wall
from my head...   demonstrative 
daily reminder

~ ~ ~ 

recurring nightmares
chased, wolf snapping at my back
there is no escape

~ ~ ~

bare skin, willow whips
forced to eat raw onions 
run away?  tried.  failed.

~ ~ ~

when company came
She laughed and called me her maid. 
never good enough

~ ~ ~

fingernails pinch ear
dragged down hall:  Make your bed right!
childhood memories

contemplative walks
weaving patterns through gardens
flowers (&) birds divert
