Transparency

Why do you keep secrets?

Stupid miscommunications.

Let’s solve this together.

9.10.22

Squeaks

Sharing old cookie crumbs

An offering from the giants

Tonight we eat like kings

19.9.22

This carpet needs vacuuming.

Month-old depression nest

Crumbs, stains, wrappers and thick blankets

Piled up dishes looming

1.10.22

I’m happy for you.

Heart tightening

Jealousy under smiles

A sigh of pain

26.8.22

Chalk dust

Leaning down, steady

Drawing circles and symbols

Blood drops in the dust

24.8.22

I’ve been awake for twenty-five hours.

Coffee-yellowed teeth

Ink-stained hands, crumpled paper

Stress-plucked baldnesses

23.8.22

Fluttering

Broken wing of blues

Nimble, a beak plunges down

Beauty’s last moment

16.8.22

Scythe

Right under my chin

The tip drawing blood droplets

Stared by the eyeless.

14.8.22

Find a comfortable seat.

None available;

Stiff backs and hard surfaces

Forced to talk to them

10.8.22

Cropped

Cut ears just for looks;

"Il faut souffrir pour être belle!"

Yet cruelty is fine…

9.8.22

Rolling the dice

A sick game of life,

One in six chances offered:

Do I roll or spin?

8.8.22

Petulant 

Tantrums and shrill cries

Entitlement has no age;

Karens at Walmart

6.8.22

Splattered

Tepid comedy

Red mush stains and annoyed grunts

Assault or justice?

5.8.22

Old birdhouse

Perched on a tall oak

A tale of past residents

Hangs among red leaves

4.8.22

There’s something in the mailbox.

Chewed up envelopes

Ruined mail, yet I don’t care;

A squirrel family.

2.8.22

Missed calls

Warm ashes rise up,

My phone won’t stop vibrating;

I wish I burned too.
