a heavy presence on my brain
makes me want to use my weight
push down and pull towards me
poetry
Poem #335
theories and smiles
connections and laughs
Poem #334
cat paws on my body
soft and rhythmic
claws in and away
through the blanket
walk next to my body
the subtle movement
barely a whisper
makes me shiver
sit against my body
the lightest touch
living breathing presence
no anxiety
just existence
Poem #333
ant looks up at human
“you’re tall”
Poem #332
with people I love
standing and chatting
about nothing and anything
Poem #331
done
yay
Poem #330
hare runs the race
wins and goes home
hare plants a carrot garden
the carrots are delicious
hare chases other hares
dominance is established
hare practices boxing
the partner is defeated
hare runs another race
is too tired and loses
Poem #329
“I’ll just run to the store,”
said tortoise to failed entrepreneur
Poem #328
twinkle, twinkle
of the tree
knead, knead
of the cat
sing, sing
of the girl
Poem #327
post-sunset gray cloudy sky
bright enough that headlights don’t help
dark enough that colors are muted
highway worker puts out orange cones
a fly on its way to rest buzzes near
worker swats at it absentmindedly
fly lands on worker’s face to gain bearings
worker jumps and swats it away
a car on the highway hits the fly
it is dead
worker slips onto the road
the screech of tires and thump
worker is dead
