The bruise has
all but disappeared
the spot though
is still tender
as though whatever
it was struck
with such force
that it was
felt cleanly through
like a cut
without a wound
I’m not sure
if it’ll ever
be the same

Rain
So seldom
tears come
now that
when rain
is forecast
out I
do run
hoping to
feel something
other than
the sun
Start
The black becomes
blue then bluer
than night as
white bleaches shadows
dawn’s aura spreads
first through windows
then painting doors
dogs stretch and
stir and I
shaking off dreams
lumber from slumber
into rooms memorized
turning on lights
and the thermostat
next to kitchen
to settle kettle
once started the
day never ends
Ugh
With greedy little
fingers people want
they at first
pause before impatience
takes its grip
snatching and pulling
and if they
don’t do that
they lean back
in rickety chairs
waiting for others
there’s no middle
ground to this
Found
If you
are looking
for anything
then you
have not
found peace
for peace
only happens
once gratitude
abundance and
prosperity exist
