Clunky
A word that comes to mind for me sometimes when I’m having trouble relating, cooperating, collaborating with others, Came to mind most recently when the kids came back to my house after being with their mom for a few days, Clunky, Is it me, or them…maybe we…just taking a bit to find the groove, smooth …
Looking For Spiders
Such a torment, for me for you, looking for spiders, late at night and early morn, such a waste, Time, energy, emotion, murderous intent, the fear and the loathing and the hate consumes you, Don’t let it, Don’t let it, and don’t look for spiders.
Deep The The Furs

Reluctant Start
Some days, this day, reluctant start, In the half-light wanting no light, wanting more dark time, more peaceful darkness, more cozy rest, Yet knowing this cannot be, soon the day begins, soon the day begins full of this and thats, that’s how it goes, that’s how it goes, The day underway, slowly at first, then …
