Like laser pointers
they blind in red green blue as
they save the planet
My door open, but
the rooms are empty, thoughts like
forgotten relics.
Stories always tell
of the one who wanders, then
returns home…like me.
You don’t notice the
absence of sound until you
strain to hear something.
…create. Impatient
that I won’t pay attention
when I’m writing stuff.
And so summer goes
like fishing line cast into
swift moving waters
Panera’s didn’t
call, nor Applebee’s. Rejec-
tion’s hard at sixteen.
Has it really been
a month since I told you all
about my day, dear?
Formally over
twelve years of learning to look
good on this one night.
Deciding who to
take like negotiating
Mideast peace treaty.
When’s the right time to
wash winter blankets? Last night
I saw snowflakes fall.
Earthworms emerge, splayed
across sidewalks, tender skin
snags on rough concrete.
In wordless despair
M dissolves in tears clutching
me like a life vest.
