Poem

Homesick Blues: Feeling Left Out While the World Goes By

Spread the love

Reading Time: < 1 minute
the world walks past 
my window without me–
home sick

***

every time you smile
my heart beats just a fraction
faster

***

I’d like think
that your particular laugh
is just for me

***

binging
train-wreck television
no self control

***

in my next life
I'll drive an Astin Martin
Bond girl
***

pi day
snow day
Colorado spring

***

excellent people watching–
opera’s
intermission

***

grief tugs on grief
unfurling the thread of pain
from the skein wound tight

***

turning every corner
at the local thrift store
I run into you

***
stepping into
a spider web in the dark –
I think of Charlotte
