This Week in Poetry #10: Mar 4-10, 2020

1

listening
to a musician on music
over lawn equipment

groping
my way through the dark
word by word

(illumination)

2

into the silence
first cup of butterscotch tea
and a distant seagull

—march 5

3

empty night
waiting for
the rain

—march 6

4

quiet Saturday
daring
to open my curtains

5

all that time
taking care
of others—
i have forgotten
how to be

—march 7

6

time change—
wondering when
I lost myself

7

pale mirror
reflecting leaves
—teacup

—march 8

8

a bright morning
for hearing deep news

9

living
a constant stream
of lawn maintenance sounds

10

fluffy bath mat
hot hot water
first-world solutions

—march 9
