NaHaiWriMo - day thirteen

13.
 
making it count
i fill my day with thoughts of you
breathing in each moment
 
*
 
much needed repairs
the old CPR pocket watch
gone without a trace
 
*
 
it’s like a river
beckoning, beckoning, beckoning
or so the song goes

NaHaiWriMo - day twelve

12. 

so many voices
i could be more insistent 
it’s a choice

*

my hands are dirty
i can’t believe what I’m reading 
stained by the news

*

the china is wrapped
everything packed just so
so fragile

NaHaiWriMo - day eleven

11.
 
late at night
your breathing lulls me to sleep
wish me sweet dreams
 
*
 
exhausted
i fold into your embrace
the rustling of sheets
 
*
 
it’s quiet now
a glass of good whisky
warms my throat

NaHaiWriMo - day ten

10.
 
you never know
how much can you hold
inside a heart
 
*
 
there are moments
i want to rage and strike out
a surprising impulse
 
*
 
is it resistance?
who will bear the fruit of it?
is it rebellion?

NaHaiWriMo - day nine

9.
 
the next thing
around the next corner
try to stay open
 
*
 
may there always be
one last gift under the tree
not on your list
 
*
 
your body against mine
that remains a mystery
close your eyes
 
*
 
my only question
how you respond to desire
choose surrender
