Just now, middle of the night, early morning I scribble this down, woke from a dream, vivid so vivid, Not just the images of practice cake and map and cousins from long ago, No no, not just that, but also the emotion of seeing them, of what an old friend would say and how that …

What I Do
What I do, what it’s become, these past couple of years, found stride, Scribble down every day, most every day, for every day, something come to mind. For me, for you, I hope it does something good, a turn of phrase, not just a phase anymore, Now become part of what I do, get it …
Leafy Greens
Eat a little better. Not that hard to find, to make, not that hard to do ... just gotta look for the opportunities, then get creative. Case in point. Recently made a Leek & Mushroom Torte for a holiday party. Recipe called for leeks (obviously), but only the white, onion-like part. Once you cut that …
Yearn To
Yearning, long I’ve felt this way, yearn to what, for who…? Yearn to be with her again, tho’ I don’t know any more who her is, Yearn to sleep deep, and late, can I anymore, will I any more? Yearn for peace and contentment and satisfaction and rest and respite and certainty, Yearn for certainty, …

Mathematically Grounded
Unhinged, flailing, a bit unsure how to regain purchase, find the ground? Weird to be in this situ, feeling, filling in the gaps, trying to pull-in, reset. Unexpected some, certainly unwanted, want to find even, steady, sure, There it is, in my son’s Mathematics Work from school…geometry, fractions… Connected, calm, somehow, peace, Just a little …
My Particular Woe
Woe as me, I’m want to say, reluctant to say…maybe ashamed to say. Struggle surprises me again, and again, again I say, feel, reluctant woe. A long time now, it's stuck around a long time now, Trying new things and old things and anything to stunt the woe, I say it and strive to live …
Oh Sweet Slumber
Oh sweet slumber, trusted respite, each night through, Then wake on the ‘morrow, once again, trodding to, The next mistake, or inspiration, find joy in each, oh yes it’s true, Find this path, each day I’m certain, the only way for me and you, And so I greet my dear sweet slumber, once again, and …
Relative Struggle
It’s Day Two of the kitchen sink quandary at my house. Intended to replace a twenty year-old faucet that was corroded with mineral deposits and had fallen into disrepair. Took a while to get things disconnected, hooked up the new gear, and, Leaks. Tried a few minor solutions. Still leaks. So I’m out of a …
