Emotion confined
Invites a sundering flood
Passion jumps the banks
A few steps beyond
My car parked at the trailhead
The day falls away
Barely a trickle
Below, broken evidence
Here sometimes a fall
Imaginary
Lines crossed in the car’s back seat
Dad arm from the front
Blacktop glimmering
Invitation to explore
Hostile enchantress
Fuck Qatar Airways
Customs Delay Missed Connect
$295 to rebook
Drowsy sun peeks from
Under fluffy comforter
Chooses to rise up
Water’s souciant song
White as the snow still falling
Nature’s whisper: shhhhhhhh
Train wreck of a year
Called Twenty Twenty One ends
Twenty Twenty Two
Too?
