In July, migraines make mornings start
before meditation and journaling.
The heat you went to bed with
is the heat you wake up with.
Poetry
How do people live
the unexamined life?
Why is it so hard
to learn from our mistakes?
To see them as lessons
or, Things Learned Walking 5 Miles on the Solstice
East to West, Roundabout
The distance traveled by
a roadkill raccoon’s liver
is twice that
First day cycling since fall.
Why not sooner?
Come home to nap
on the deck
Knowing a person
is not the same as
knowing a person.
Why should this be difficult?
Lyrical linkage of worldly words
into phrases and pages
No dress to press
No boots to scoot
No lipstick swiped in a rush
Wake at six, nap at nine, second date and three miles from eleven to one
Life has been reduced to numbers.
Connecting the dots correctly
Started out
by sleeping in
First night of more than four hours
in seven days.
First date #10.
I matched three Brians on Bumble in one day,
but this was the only one
