a satchel of sadness
slung over hunched back
slogging on home

snivel nose running
wet sleeve to wipe off
misery and snot

breadth of step-back
self-inquisitive look at
sorrow and self

wake up shining
and do it all over
depression kicks in

Election drumbeat…
uncertainty and fear reign
Where is Moscow Mitch?

help wanted searching
turns out you have to apply
we can’t just take them

Matilda green Frankenstein lover
spectacular aurora borealis

where do the colors fly?

in my eyes
in the sky
on lightning bolts like glorious steeds
they gallop through my mind

touching
feeling
sensing awe

wrapped in cobalt
blue steel grin
my powder keg thoughts release again
