#NaHaiWriMo 2017 – day twentyeight

there’s nothing left
one need only be thankful 
anticipate hope

#NaHaiWriMo 2017 – day twentyseven

television hum
renders my thoughts fuzzy
heavy-lidded eyes

*

potential energy
the squirrel is all tension
quivering bundle

*

sometimes pain is good
the way a muscle breaks
the way we are stretched

*

swell of anxiety
weight of embarassment 
just jump into it

#NaHaiWriMo 2017 - day twentysix

everything’s melting

the water drips and pools

listen to that sound

*

in every instance

it’s all about the timing

yours, mine, God’s

*

with some mistakes

air gets sucked out of the room

with others, not

#NaHaiWriMo 2017 – day twentyfive

grasping at shadows
flicker at the edge of vision
crows like ghosts

*

slight dusting of snow
footsteps slowly fading
erasure of traces

*

tired of excuses
the tyranny of absence
i’m only human

*

first tentative steps
learning to trust again 
the restoration

#NaHaiWriMo 2017 – day twentyfour

a weight is lifted

conversations full of hope

learning new dance steps

*

magpie skips on the path

looks at everything but me

blinks and turns its head

*

the pen remains capped

papers scattered on my desk

i drink my coffee
