Battle Position

Patiently killing plans 

and their many guises

standing before us now,

pantomiming the many ways 

through bitterness and grief.

[LSS, 6/12/22]

Don’t Worry

We are still reading 

our mail and tying 

our shoes and eating

sardines and crackers 

while we wait 

for the extra space

to store the missed 

moments to arrive.
