A Closet Full of Peanut Butter

55 plus years of marriage down the drain
She watches it spin and spin 
It is too much to process the pain 
Her mind usually a flurry 
No longer a need to hurry

Her Husband departed on that sweet sad night
The love of her life 
The peanut butter to her lettuce 
Is now out of sight

He was a funny one of hers that man almighty 
Older and quiet
Shy and afraid of the Hyatt 
Stuck in his ways 
Never turned a common phrase 

Grew up in the Great Depression 
Some habits die hard
Or not at all 
Always left a good impression 
Ate a peanut butter lettuce sandwich everyday much to her appall 

She hated peanut butter 
Everything about it 
Not a lot of peanut butter growing up in 1940s Japan 
It always seemed like an awkward fit 
But it takes a lot to stand up against the man 

Even Though she abhorred it 
Her husband never bored of it 
The smell the taste that gluey ooooey  stuck together like paste
She collected a jar
In the back seat of her car
And did it all again for him 
Each and every shopping trip 

Finally, her husband’s dead 
A day she should have known would come 
But naturally is full of dread 
Now she stares out the window 
Out the car
Out the door 
Out of her head 
What will I do with all of that peanut butter now?

Skating Upon Saturn's Rings



One small step for woman 
One giant step for womankind 

I have reached the rings of Saturn 
I never thought this day would come 

The first step is icy and cold 
But a blast of hot wind pulls me dead set on the ring 
And suddenly I am flying

Fast fast fast 
Quicker than light
All of the stars just turn into pure white
And it is as if I am not moving at all 

Cind Lou Who alone on her dandelion 
Surrounded by thousands of seeds
Thousands of blades of grass and grains of sand 
The chasm widens 

I take a breath 
And things slow down 
Just enough 
Just so the stars around 
Slow into a revolving disco ball 
Glimmers and twinkles surround me 

I laugh 
And my laugh echoes forever 
Bouncing off Saturn and its rings on repeat 

Giggling 
Looking up into everything 
As I glide along a surface smoother than ice 
It is like surfing on air 

I manipulate the lack of gravity 
Doing flip after flip 
I am invincible 

The laugh I thought was echoing endlessly 
Morphs into a scream 
As I sink 
The weightless effect can’t help me 
I am falling

I cut myself on Saturn’s sharp razor edge 
Down on the ring’s edge
But the galaxy is still spinning

The stars start to disappear below me
Saturn now far above me 
I can’t hear my own screech
I scream my throat raw 

The darkness is widening 
As it consumes me
I reach out 
One last time
Try to touch Saturn’s Ring 
Pitch Black nothingness
