HOT COFFEE! (12/30)
April 12, 2018
steam rises, wafting
breathe deeply, anticipate
imminent delight
draw in magic scent
eyes closed, hands around warm mug
tongue inches forward
gentle contact made
slurpy sip slowly consumed
palate meets pleasure
morning medicine
I am revived and ready
coffee, hot and black
ephemeral beauty (9/30)

white, pink, blue, purple
when you’re fresh you’re beautiful
freshness is fleeting
cat coasts (7/30)

curled tail wards off fiends
look at the tip twitching now
what’s that over there
something is nearing
the mysterious unknown
staring intently
sit and wait a bit
scamper away in a flash
stop and wait some more
a skeptical glance
nose doesn’t leave warmth of tail
older and wiser
bracing wind bare tree (6/30)
April 6, 2018
bracing wind bare tree
branches vie for attention
nothing left to give
bare tree branches wave
against the sky become free
slice a rift in air
waving branch believes
she answers to no one else
now embraces sky
