Small Stones for Wednesday and Thursday

jan13badgesmallMeetings
when the address is wrong and
each one arrives and leaves in puzzlement.
Hurries down the pavement, wondering
where the others are, is this another sign
of the distraction of the times?

Days Like This

when the inbox overflows although
last night you swore today
would be different. Today
you’d read poems, make soup,
never hit the send button.

jan13badgesmallDreams and Waking

Morning comes before I’m ready
the dream still fading, an almost memory,
all love and promise, a thing that
never was nor might have been, but perfect
for the first minute before waking.

Small Stone for a Monday Morning

jan13badgesmallMonday Morning Bright

the day crisp blue above
the bright white of roofs spied from
my window, where I’m caught
in a sea of dull white paper

Sunday Stone

Sunday Breakfast at the Greek Resto

a grey day with light snow

calls for two eggs sunnyside up

the only yellow orb on the horizon for today

alongside crisp bacon, homefries, short stack

and the sweet slow slide of syrup

a plate of tummy-filling yum!
