A red dragonfly --
at a point in, at a point, a point, and at rest. |

a point, and a rest,
contemplative counterpoint; life is a balance

Life is a balance
beam wobbling beneath our feet as our hips hula. |

As our hips hula,
The islands remain so calm. The party goes on. |

The party goes on
though the guests are not the same. Who opened the door? |

Who opened the door
and let in the fallen leaves? More work for the broom.

Mend it back to whole—
A broken gate stuck open can keep nothing in.

She blogs all day long,
But blogging isn't her WIP, Deadlines approaching. |

The Muse is sleeping,
Rumpled sheets, one leg dangling, Dreams of tortured words.

Dreams of tortured words
waterboarded into truth -- this poem lies sleeping. |

This poem lies sleeping
between the matted layers-- my pile of laundry. |

In collars and seams
Where everyday secrets hide To be washed away. |

To be washed away--
sweet love swept me off my feet like the Johnstown Flood. |

Like the Johnstown Flood --
boards, glass, rocks in its waters -- your words have context. |

Quiet in the town,
The streets and sidewalks empty, The trains running late. |

time pulls its Mussolini sharp on my patience. |

Sharp on my patience,
like a pocket full of pins, her raspy voice calls. |
