This Morning, in this Very Quiet House - Feb. 3, 2023
the eyes in my mind could see both
ghosts floating in the past
and an illusion of tomorrow
drifting away in the future
a reminder to stick
to following things
a bit more solid
for when I do
catch them
warm sweet coffee
sheeting down my throat
my fingers combing
this sleeping dog
any love
that can love back
