reheating my favorite mug
tepid tea made hot again
Dollar General, Forest City IA, 07.06.23. Neither black nor white was beautiful…
I witness hate
at both ends
of the color spectrum
not the heat, it’s the humidity
sultry morning
I swam on two legs for an hour
it sure wasn’t walking…

My poem contrapuntal insomnia appears today in the online journal BarBar Magazine, perhaps an apropos message following a wild night of 4th of July booms and bangs!
I hope you’ll enjoy it. 🙂
i must remember this whenever i’m down & feeling off my game
soggy skies, chill air
sunny warmth, birdsong
emotions in parallel

recovery
pain: emasculated
mojo
rejuvenation
these aren’t any gentle breezes…
blast of summer wind
time, again
to refill the bird feeders
