life – Skeleton At The Feast

Window Shopping

Let me have this life, I think.

Ghosts, like lizards, are creatures of chance sighting and caught breath.

Used or unused?

Some things are best handled obliquely, like a cat avoiding scritches.

Few people get space for free – so self respect is an act of defiance.

And tidal pools new depths shall see/ with time.

The title says it all.

Today tides welled on the sidewalk.

Today I held a dragon.

This morning I had a conversation with my past self. She said she was disappointed, and I said, “That’s fine.”
