of twenty years,
still has not learned
to be specific with me.
‘Can I have tea?’,
she will ask, sweetly.
Off I rush, into the kitchen.
Swiftly, I return, cup in hand.
‘What’s this?’ she will exclaim,
staring at the steaming brew.
‘I wanted something to eat!’

reality any more?
My digital world,
with NFC payments,
streaming media,
global communications.
A.I. companions listen
to my woes, run off
with coding tasks,
completing in the blink
of an eye.
Then vying
for attention, with
a follow-up question
or three.

We write lists, plan to the nth degree;
buy, buy, buy all the things we need,
declare to the universe our desires
and how we will achieve them.
Then we notice that new thing -
the one over there that needs
our undivided attention.
So we write lists…

This event meant I missed the ground, and I ended up hovering several inches above it.
My second attempt was not quite as successful.

A broken heart,
mourning again.
My tabby Tequila
joins brother Tweak
in the quiet beyond.
My world is quiet,
emptied of purrs,
of head-bumps.
I adjust, slowly,
remembering the love
in the spaces left behind.

after my surgery.
Recovery is slow,
I'm so exhausted...
Antibiotics -
When the cure
feels as bad
as the sickness.

I found it
in a drawer-
your smile paused,
your bright eyes
waiting.
The paper bends,
but the moment does not.
It stares back
from a time
I cannot touch.
