Sheep

October 24, 2021

I can’t greet sleep
Plank to fiddle with tomorrow

I should be knee-deep
Fluffy sheep
How much time can I borrow

High notes
They’re not cheap
Each collect a low
See how many I owe?

Bubbles

October 17, 2021

Smiles bend in chrome reflection
Our giggles echo in a porcelain hall

Wigs of white from bubbles dancing
Hold your breath before you fall

Spaghetti

October 10, 2021

We talked about this last week

The one before too
I know its hard
But I’m proud to say I thought it through

Sometimes things don’t go as planned
Remember I love you

The decisions been made
We’re having spaghetti for two

Disco

October 03, 2021

Disco and banana bread
Rosy cheeks from tears shed

I won’t dance unless you’re holding me
Cautious steps and wobbly knees

One more slice not a crumb more
Bang your head to Byrne’s roar

Fruit Flies

September 26, 2021

Hide your shame and frown
Behind our butcher block

The fruit flies look down
From twelve o’clock

Wait until bed time
To open your white wine

He’s down for the night
We’re ruthless ’til light
