what I was thinking

Was that yesterday I wanted to spend the entire day sitting next to you

And I fairly well succeeded

an apology to coffee

the coffee mug is lukewarm,
signaling the passage of time
since last I sipped from its
darkened depths
and I sigh for the beans
that came all this way for
such an uninspired fate.

would if I were a royal
or diplomat, whose lips
on the merit of imagined
importance perhaps taste
more deeply and profoundly
than my own; then my
little liquid companion might
feel less cheated by my
unintentional neglect.

Home Remedy

Velveteen dreams scheme
to make the brain drink
Ovaltine in bed

Malted mix will you fix
the soupy mess that
salted my poor head?

Because you like cats

Little cat
Rolling on the grass
Looks like it feels nice on your fur

Nature III

A squirrel forages
No urgency with winter
Far behind his tail
