I like the thought
Of a moment
Sitting, waiting just for me
To see and be.

There are new people in my life
New fingers on my hand
I weave designs with threads
Loop knots around them
Stories and a few thoughts
Little puzzled, a little chaos
There are old acquaintances in my life
Lines on my palm
Describing my days that were and are to come
Nerve endings defining me
Oh really?
My mind questions.
I question my mind.
Can someone peer in
And tell me there are not infinite reflections
Of the same me
Standing in front of one mirror
Two mirror four eight sixteen
With my new different sized fingers
And the same brown hair.

Crushed yawns and a yellow sun
Dip low into my glass of water.
I take sips and gulps from a cold glass;
A wall of familiar faces over the rim.
I dip a little more into the cushions
That have butterflies and flowers on them.
I feel some warmth in some eyes
Some hugs that will always be warm.
Tiny suns burn in this dark room
In the words that flow, it’s a light that flows.
It is enough for this cold evening
Maybe enough for a lifetime.

Hush, let us sleep now
And dream of evenings past
People of the past.

Whimpering, the dog pulls at the grill with his mouth
He has been locked for four hours now.
People are now more careful with their doors;
Who walks in and out.
No one noticed the dog with three legs hopping in the dark-
(It is dark because the building light is not needed anymore.)
At 3 AM I hear him as my only company.
Walls separate us, twin cells for the both of us.
What is common between us, I think.
Looking at my green painted nails, I imagine his claws.
These dead cells sprouting is with us both.
Tomorrow, I need to wash my hair after dusting the dirt off the house.
I don’t feel like waking up anymore.
Never sleep, just stare at the blue screen
This unmoving creature
That you are looking at right now.
