Listen--
the crowd is deafening
in this tiny globe of a room
deafening in support of
someone else
retask that raucous noise
rewrite it to be for you
and listen

but how can I listen
if there's nothing to hear
from you

Some homes rise above the rest
come see why!
charming little house
attention to detail
flows seamlessly to the main
I can see us there
coffee in hand
sun filled living space
open concept addition with skylights, bamboo floor and windows galore.

#3/30 - 2018: Damaged Goods 
[prompt inspired by an Anis Mojgani line, "Make a list of the parts of your body that don’t work anymore. That list is a poem.”]

Most of my body

is damaged goods.

It still works fine 

enough,

but the sheen has certainly worn off.

The oil is low

(and the brand is hard to find),

the hinges are overworked and they

sigh quietly when asked to move

too quick. 

Full-contact

Full-impact

takes a toll

I number the adjustments lovingly

an injury index

a table of bodily malcontents

I had a dream that
is just on the tips of my memory
waking up with a wisp of it that cleared
with the air moved by a blink.

Afternoon naps

are your staple now.

Lucky me to able to drop in

for a snooze

just like the old days.

Though I am more your size now

and your stubble has gone to salt, 

the slant of sun is the same,

the weight of the cat a little more,

and your wide hand spread over mine, 

comforting,

Dad.
