The whir
of machines
and splash
of water
all scrubbing
stubborn stains
and leftovers
from things
and yet
my heart
keeps the
last of
your lips
print puckered
on it
and no
amount of
elbow grease
or effort
will ever

Serendipity
Funny how
the simplest
thing with
the longest
name causes
greatest change
by being
caught unaware
as one
goes about
their business
Autumn
Things turn
clocks back
and leaves
once green
start falling
the breeze
blows chill
and shorts
folded take
their place
where warm
sweaters used
to stay
Sublime
We spend all
of our lives
gathering and making
all to what
sit in some
nest high above
and wonder what
goes on below
take flight friend
chase the clouds
and come up
empty when you
finally do land
because there’s nothing
any more sublime
Shine
Hope doesn’t blossom
it doesn’t grow
hope simply shines
and it shows
the very steps
that the strong
have walked before
and with each
it will take
not to go
but to get
