Energize

Inhaling the scent
Of freshly peeled orange
I begin the day

Night

Out for drinks tonight
Loud music, cute men, laughter
All things are empty

Black bird in a ditch
Standing in moss and clover
Impossibly still

A walk in the rain
Holding a white umbrella
Like the trees in bloom

The spring rain has stopped
Leaving a quiet, dark night
I slow my breathing

As I cleanse the home
The troubled mind will settle
Muddy water clears

Watching a palm tree

quiver and sway against a

sky of gold and grey
