Summer morning weather
absolute bliss
Kitty keeps pushing
against my chest
Rolling around
a big ball of fur
I cannot get enough
of your cuteness
overload–

Mysterious Shape
In the darkness
I see a shape.
My husband?
A woman or a man?
A thick being from beyond?
An angel sent to tell me something?
The hollow feeling stiffening my skin
stopping my blood flow
My heart, a piece of ice–
But oh!!!
It is
a big stack of pillows
misleading
everyone
even the cats
even after we know for sure
for the rest of the
long
lonely
night–
No zzzzzzzzzzz’s
Can’t sleep.
The cold night is ruthless
covering Brooklyn in her
dark silent sheath
my husband pleasantly snores
in his burrito blanket
hoarding any warmth
I sit up
unable to drift back
lazily listening to the cat’s licking
and
hissing–
A Reflection
Amazing ups and downs
Emotions running wild
A quivering lip
Like Angela’s chin
We wait hiding in pink
And white balloons
Among chocolate and vanilla
Frosting, covered in irridescent
Sequins, a three course meal
Scrapbook puzzle pieces.
Scissors.
You.
Like the cyclone,
We’ve ended here again
And just when I thought there
Was no one else in the building
I can hear you up at night down
Below me watching nick at nite
Unable to sleep
Unable to catch that dream
Like
me–
Friday Night
Semi circle
Half moon
Not quite new
Not quite full
Praying for me
Waiting for you
Everything to gain
Nothing to lose
Gray cat purrs
Black cat mews
Friday night rest
nothing to feel blue
about
at all–
Kitties and Piggy
Banana Peel
Banana skin
Peeled away
Save you for another day
Slip and slide
No need to hide
As kitties purr
And mischief dies–
Cat’s Meow
In the evening
the cat’s meow
for food.
It’s more like
“oowwwwooo”
which means
a certain someone
really wants food.
She’s hungry and
I don’t blame her.
After a long day
of sending out
radio waves of love
and balancing the
earth’s energy
and zapping all the
negative extra-
terrestrial voodoo
rays,
I don’t mind
feeding her
kibbles
one
little
bit–
Resting
What yoga position have you
created this morning?
Something certainly new
like you–
I have moved clumsily
between cat’s stretch and
child’s pose and a few
cat cows
trying to relieve the pain
of my lower pack
and bring some solace
to the pulling in my
belly–
My other half rests next to me
stretching himself
eyes closed
then open
looking somewhere
far into the distance
one hand behind his head
another resting on his chest
red shirt
“What are you typing?”
He leans over to ask again
I haven’t answered
as I’m trying not to
lose this
train of
“Oh, a poem”
thought.
And so we’ve stretched
and scratched
and stretched and
stretched
waiting for the moment
the signal
to begin the day
in the best possible way
in my most humblest way
in gratitude for
rest–
Go Away Forever
A steady rising of the sun
this morn
clearly
logically
naturally
every morn
and still
The World outside seems blue
even as my lamp shade gets dimmer and dimmer.
My favorite lines
have been
Disappearing
one by one
down a cavernous
semi-living
hole
mixed up in social media
and I feel I’ve
completely lost
control–
I wonder lately, though
if I’ve completely lost it
or if we’re just taking a
small and serene
mental break.
But this morning you told me
the tall men have
come to you again
Those shifting shadows
in the night.
I thought we worked
so hard to make them
go away forever?
I really thought
I really thought
we made them
go away
forever.
