Humid air over

Consumed with planning,
yet nothing takes so long as
preparing to leave.

Pertinent details:
Who we are, where we’re going,

Pre-packing

How much of today’s
preparations can I fold
into tomorrow?

Long Week

A midnight wake up
to realize I had fallen
asleep too early.

Evening Prancer

Having slept all day,

Work Hazard

Digital meeting:
one blends into another,
no need to stand up.

Broad Concerns

L. A.’s small pockets
make news, out-of-state friends call.
City remains fine.

Language Test

Particle order.
I can barely remember
in my native tongue.

Tempting

Between landing planes,
distant moon waits and watches.

Decision Fatigue

Choices rattled off,
yet by evening six, I can
no longer decide.

Midweek

Ship between harbors.
We lose sight of restful land,
caught between weekends.

His driveway car wash
(buffed and polished) conjures
unexpected rain.

Late Season

Trumpets on dark boughs,

Groovin’

She was the D.J.
