derisive dissonance
on a mountain of low self-esteem
crashing avalanche
destructive declarations

space exploration
artful flirtation
evening vacation
Poem #309
shaved my legs for this
wore your necklace for this
shopped for this
love you!
Poem #308
one moment, I was driving
the next, I was on the ground
staring up at the cloaked figure
“I’m not ready yet,” I say
“that’s death,” says the figure
Poem #307
pure evil
but not in the typical way
smiles and is polite
compliments and is fun
but makes small jabs
that wear you down
over years
slow and unseen
until you snap
Poem #306
painting askew
I fix
feelings off
I fix
machine broken
I fix

failed plans
rent checks
impromptu outing
fun texting
cat petting
warm laundry
good night
Poem #304
incessant giggles
gleeful dances
yummy eats
friendship!
Poem #303
I see a rabbit hopping past me
I say to the rabbit:
“where are you going?”
he says to me:
“where do you think I’m going?”
I say to the rabbit:
“I do not know.”
he says to me:
“why do you want to know?”
I say to the rabbit:
“I do not know.”
he says to me:
“then why even ask?”
he hops away
Poem #302
window to outside
blocked by blinds
protect what’s inside
