Windows to the soul . . .
Melancholy and tear-blurred
Like rain-spattered glass.

Rainy Sunday

Faded love letters
Unearthed by a pack rat on
A rainy Sunday.

Flower-scented days
Spent drowsing in a hammock
Daydreaming of you.

Crickets chirp soft, secret songs
While frogs serenade.

Can be a challenge even
For a geek like me.

Yet He knows my every step.
A bit confusing.

Rancid cheese and old corn chips.
Man, what stinky feet.

Feverish day dreams:
An elf runs by my sick bed.
Where's the aspirin?

Scurrying up the sidewalk
Looking for a meal.

Getting Sick

A cat sharpens its
claws in the back of my throat:
Fever, sore throat. Sick.

Alone or lonely?
I'm often one; sometimes both.
Modern day single.

Appeared to me today, but
I was not haunted.

Mother duck and her babies
Race to the water.

Down on the cube farm
People are plucked out like weeds
When they make mistakes.

I'm not pregnant - just really
So very hungry.

To be a woman.

Joking, not realizing
Your pain while I laughed

Let me scratch under your chin,
and tell you secrets.

Flitter among the flowers,
Glide on fragant wind.

Blending blues into one like
My heart and your soul.

Curtains cover the windows
Of my soul. Good night.

Heart beats pound through your body.
Another hot flash.
