Dog Fight

White teeth flash and slash
Lips peel back over red gums
Growling, angry dog

Ceiling Fan

Whirring and spinning
The ceiling fan cools my room
Whispers me to sleep

Messy Kitchen

Messy, old kitchen
I don't want to clean it up
Let's eat out tonight.

Agonizing Itch

Irritated skin
Phantom bugs crawling on me
Agonizing itch

Ever since I had radiation therapy, my skin is a bit nutso. I am having a itchy patch on some of my skin that was particularly cooked back during treatment. There are moments that I just have to let out a short, quiet scream.

Writing at Work

So much writing and
So little inspiration:
Writing on the job.

I like to write for my job - press releases and marketing copy - but at times you feel a little blah about it. I think working in the same company for 13 years can do that to a person. I just have to shake up my perspective and get a fresh angle on things.

Mondays Come Too Soon

Lying in the bed
Sunday night anxiety
Mondays come too soon

Feels Like Old Times

Cradling your neck,
I hold you close once again,
My dusty guitar.
