First time visitor

Food goes bad, beer flat.
But words on a blog are fresh
to new readers’ eyes.

Sleep eludes me

like a song title
you can’t recall, like the name
of your first grade friend

Hint of spring

Earthy smell of fresh
mud awakens winter-dulled
senses like coffee.

Can’t breathe, can’t focus, can’t write.
I soothe, long distance.

Pitying looks from strangers.
Do I cut and run?

Neglected, ignored.
Like faithful dogs, blogs wait for
their masters’ return.
