he is late again
car is packed and i'm ready
standing in the sun.

twenty-one years old
still acting like a toddler
who drinks and does drugs.

packing my suitcase
i'm a liar; my laundry
isn't even done.
Monday 28 August 2017
first day of new job -
exciting! fresh! let's kill this! -
overwhelmed puppy

your hand out, asking
and your mouth open, blaming
find something to do.

origin family
removing all confidence
past wrecking present
Friday 25 August 2017
his ring, like sunshine,
exposes my skin to warmth
colours my outlook
Thursday 24 August 2017
conversations held
in deafening roars of crowds
and clinking glasses
Wednesday 23 August 2017
a scene of pure joy:
rivers reflecting mountains
quietly in awe.
Tuesday 22 August 2017
the plane's turbulence
a frightening reminder
that i am alive
Monday 21 August 2017
when i mow the yard
i count my steps and wonder
why i am counting

my suicide note
will mention you replacing
your only daughter.

orphaned at forty
maybe not literally
but just as awful

fridays forgotten
date nights all bleed into one
he is always late.

experimenting
not everyone embracing
suggested changes

umbrella open
but not saving her from storms
nothing ever does.
Tuesday 15 August 2017
sun warming my skin
i look up and burn my eyes
searing happiness
Monday 14 August 2017
look, it's sunny out!
i see it from my office
but not on weekends.
Sunday 13 August 2017
you, hands out to dance,
with me, afraid of shadows,
we inch across floors.
Saturday 12 August 2017
old love, burning kiln,
adding flavour to new wine
the fire of the past
Friday 11 August 2017
wrapped in gold, finger
signifies his commitment,
encourages her
Thursday 10 August 2017
her water droplets
hang steady from the petals
like hesitation

feminism moved
from equity to selfish;
monetizing greed.

his dusty guitar
no memory of music
in the quiet room

purging kitchen drawers
removing things i don't use
admitting failure

sunshine mixed with wind
long walks through little towns, and
three scoops of ice cream

breakfast with my boy
22 years goes by fast
he still makes me laugh

when you cannot share your joy
but it still exists :)

questioning my faith
my brokenness consumes me
it's not what you think.

inadvertently
i listen to your warning
sent five years ago

music, memory,
i made up our connection
now we are strangers
