wrong
when i imagine you
leaving this world
i envision the axis of the earth
tilting off-kilter
just a bit, the seasons
altering to fit
into the soundless void
you leave behind

This morning I yelled
At a piece of cheese and knew
I was in trouble
For the prompt, “Amuse,” at One Single Impression. This may be the only amusing poem I’ve ever written. As well as the only haiku.
diary – Poem
diary
frantic scribbling
into story, a plea
for words. soon
i will unpad
the lock, twist out
its heart, spread ink
across pages, dry
as a gourd, white
as a scar. here
i will try
not to lie. i carry
you with me, never push
you out
into the world,
never give birth
to these small miseries.
For One Single Impression’s prompt, Notebook.
