This Week in Poetry #3: Jan 15-21, 2020

1

morning coffee
the upstairs neighbor dragging
furniture again

2

gusty day
sun and shadow dance
on the curtains

—january 17

3

scent of rose tea—
memories of summer rain I wish
had been endless

4

winter evening
the old man’s garden by the wall
half leafless

—january 18

5

scent of bleach
filling my bathroom—
the upstairs neighbor’s

—january 20

6

crisp morning
struggling with the aftermath
of anxiety insomnia

7

cat napping
on a blanket by the window, then
reggaeton beats

8

power tools
unprettily punctuate my poems
rescue artist: Yoshida Brothers

9

letting go
of words not meant for me
library return

—january 21
