Oh I Didn't Mean That!

As to how it came out I am
not that angry, sure, I got
shafted, but I'm ok, I say
"Lets go have a beer."

The Window

Sheers billow inside

brown frame window

tattered yellow shade

empty room looks out

at rolling meadows

blue sky freedom

Is There One More In Me

I don't know so I shall amble
through possibilities to find a
purpose to write that one
that will plummet me to stardom

However, I am not serious as to
stardom, but I love riding the trail
purpose to write that one
that will rise me to stardom

Honey Drip

Day was so perfect you might say
the bees might be with me

peaceful, except for my brother
who is not doing well, and my
husband who has Alzheimer's Disease

I need to throw that shit away for
I can't take care of everyone
I can only take of me and McGee

Here I Am

Long hard day
early joy
agenda man
no joy
ruled the day
here I am

I Here Feat Coming

Shod with cleats

stomping with intent

get out of the way!

I can’t speak 

My stomach churning

my heart beating

I hear feet coming

I hide

It Was Cold Today

But, I was warm as I soaked up sun

sitting on the couch in sun reflected

off air and earth and pool and deck

It warmed me outside cement block

covered in stucco home bunker

against hurricanes, building codes

since Andrew destroyed Homestead

I drink in warmth totally relaxed as

life settles down into normalcy where

no more insanity prevails as I go to bed

safe that nothing bad will come to me

Inside my own house there is no danger

sublimely peaceful without arguments

without threats, without mayhem

Peaceable Kingdom where I lie down

I sleep, I sleep, I sleep

Once

I pretended
to be a princess

It was fraught
with complicated

demands and, I
couldn't do it

anymore

now I sway in
sea breeze
