Enough

I moved the shelf and
remembered when I was a dealer
with thousands of titles
hauling boxes of books.

Now a single shelf tires me.
I look around at what little
there is and think
too much, too much.

Day Shift #8

imagine a setting sun
on another planet
in the Goldilocks Zone

this bubble is like that
hospitable and
inhabited by one
