softer words
interspersed with unkind moments
my jagged edges

softer words
interspersed with unkind moments
my jagged edges
cloud-mist
tender shoots
a darkening sky

birdbath planter
scattered greenery
robin-chorus crescendo

seven 20 lb concrete blocks
subtle reminders to husband unheeded
so, I just moved them all myself
warmth envelops my body
I tell myself
it’s time to be good
to who I am


My poem an inebriated body lists to port has been published in Issue 4.1 of The Imagist Literary Magazine. Traverse the page a few scrolls and you’ll find it! Happy Friday and THANK YOU for looking.
