The clouds today
are like tufting
laid out lengthwise
on a table
one after another
like the corpses
of fallen warriors
on and on
as far as
the eye sees
this morning’s clouds
herald a misery
not only seen
but silently felt
for anyone knowing
them this way

A potential path
forward if you’re
ever feeling overwhelmed
do your routines
whatever they may
be make your
bed bathe shave
clean your home
routines are known
as physical meditation
they center you
by removing you
from your mind
and into body
through simple action
Pain
On this
my journey
I’m present
to pain
of others
but not
from reality
I’ve noticed
that their
pain comes
mostly from
their avoidance
of it
Comeuppance
Sometimes I long
and other times
I miss while
others I desire
but really most
I don’t deserve
having for far
too long sat
at the table
not only satisfying
but gorging like
a starving animal
on winters dead
and now this
this my penance
my exile from
this land now
turned into spring
I remain huddled
close closer still
to my sins
MyEasy
Some days I do
most days I don’t
which is very different
than it was before
before that’s all that
I wanted thought about
looked and settled for
but now after that
after all of that
now after the dust
settled I can see
that for what it
was no longer seeing
it for what I
thought that it might
while at first hard
now it’s my easy
