crawl into bed
in a soft hoodie

legs burning

until the moon sets
shadow monsters feast

drinking tea and lemonade
their dog is napping
the bees are buzzing
retiree does a crossword puzzle
wife crochets a sweater for her sister
daughter types
every evening they sit on the porch
nibbling chicken and pesto paninis
the birds are quie...
Poem #576

her being is on the precipice
but she’s not sure what’s forward
she stumbles and walks
and finally sprints to the other side
wild, unfocused and free
