You hold tight,
Grasping til death.
Yet it gets away.
You blame it.
Or you blame the world.
Or you blame yourself.
But it returns.
One way or another.
You learn from it.
And then you hold tightly again.

Hungry Thoughts at 6:30 PM
Sitting in the living room
Watching the evening news,
Which you made me do,
Because it's “stimulating”
I wait until you called out
“Dinner!”

Not About Us
Lying on plush couches,
Scrolling mindlessly on TikTok,
Then David Muir says something.
“The Supreme Court is destroying democracy.”

The Sky Was Red (No, Orange)
The sky was red.
Okay maybe it wasn’t completely red.
Kinda orange.
A scene from "Dune" when you think about it.
Just bizarre.
