This Week in Poetry #2: Jan 8-14, 2020

1

entering words
in a spreadsheet all day
unseen leaves

—january 8

2

tea break
while the printer spits papers
the cat’s round eyes

3

entrepreneurship:
the promise to yourself
to take a break in ten minutes

—january 9

4

the humid scent
of warm bean soup
kitchen fan

5

the last box
of Christmas, in the recycling
turns the cat restless

—january 10

6

a sleeping house
the unsettled feeling
of something left undone

7

sun spot
on a damp tank top
winter laundry

—january 11

8

breathing in
the morning, I try to forget
the past

—january 12

9

cleaning day
because there are a thousand
other things to do

10

hot cup of tea
at the beginning
of a thousand-page book

—january 13

11

stacked boxes…
slowly unburying
18 years

—january 14
