By my not
whether it’s meeting
or even doing
no longer means
or either makes
for being alone
releases me from
the obligation and
from the discomfort
of things broken
Be
I know that
but I don’t
know how that
will ever be
given everything else
it’s not missing
whatever it is
but an eventuality
a one day
will come be
Twas
I’d rather blend
than draw attention
be a spice
or an herb
just a hint
or a taste
a little lingering
and maybe less
a waft wish
or passing fancy
as seen from
afar rather than
one of those
often familiar know
who you are
more a were
a once was
definitely a twas
Sunset
There are days
such as this
when I want
all to do
is wander through
the grounds groves
and greenery and
feast on the
succulent fruits of
my labor instead
here I sit
on the back
porch of my
life watching sunset
Gate
Every little thing
that I’ve bought
for my home
in the last
three years are
like stones that
I have found
along the path
of my life
and gathered together
and placed one
atop the other
making the gate
that welcomes guests
