Found

If you 
are looking
for anything
then you
have not
found peace
for peace
only happens
once gratitude
abundance and
prosperity exist

Wash

Simple things 
most matter
now more
crisp linen
soft towels
warm clothes
all clean
sounds of
all churning
grumbling bellies
soon to
tumble in
and out
and warmth
that cats
and dogs
always find

Fume

Needle points left
tapping it I
hope something remains
even if fume
even a promise
of something better
or a glance
glimpse lingering stare
anything that might
or could maybe
carry me farther
forward from here

Less

Say less 
not more
let words
be brutally
brief bringing
humid breath
allow sighs
to sing
and eyes
to settle
and hands
to hang
inches from
the flesh

Today

At last 
things done
it’s time
to think
do I
don’t I
maybe so
my mistakes
of yesterday
get smaller
and smaller
the more
that I
do today
