    How do we do next
    Dating replaced

    Foodie aside

    a skate
    at the rink
    a hike in the woods
    was the extent of our taste;

    an app
    a cocktail a meal
    til the conversation ran dry

    How do we do next
    dating replaced

    Hold my hand 
    head high
    fill self interest
    ofc

    poetry, curling, bowling 
    yes of all things curling
    movies and rock bands
    the woods
    back to my tree hugging ways

    how do we do next
    dating replaced

    the spring sheds the cocoon
    the butterfly emerges
    the snow melts on the ground
    wings spread
    I fly
    primary colors 
    full force ahead.
  • Hearts Shatter

    Hearts Shatter

    I text and text and text again
    Another message
    Press contact photo 
    hit call
    forwarded to voice mail
    grasping air

    .

    repeat 

    clarity or closure
    or something that resembles either
    a follow up from the 
    need isn’t how much time spent
    “moms on the other line” 
    click

    .

    need is how time is spent
    empathy respect
    hear the dream
    see the vision
    use the damn yoga mat

    .

    in a relationship
    what do those needs mean 
    a google search …
    listening  
    a chance to express
    feelings and opinions

    not met
    a call back
    you do care…
    only voices rise
    fault and blame 
    feel like despise

    hearts shatter

  • Cold Moon

    The Thaw

    Seat belt
    buckle up
    i didn’t know it would be a bumpy ride

    Lap the air
    overcast
    smell of those tall pines

    chocolate melatonin
    head wrap 
     children screach
    grab the barf bag
    rest the eyes

    laughing laughing laughing
    mongolian buffet
    red wine
    naps 
    mid day snacks
    relax
    red eye back

  • Acceptance my Love

    Screenshot

    I’m sure our love was meant for another
    Our brief yet brilliant
    Fling 
    filled the air we breathed
    in deep

    butterfly. 

    you didn’t even snore. I slept in your bed like this cat on my leg
    cozy and warm I didn’t know
    I could have another home 

    bear. 

    the way you looked at me
    reflected a desire to last forever
    yet life had other plans
    aborted our love
    quickly, cut cords
    harshly, my memories remain fondly

    my love.

  • Wrap it Up

    Month one
    It’s a rush
    A love bomb
    Four digit security
    to your heart your home your 6ft tall manly hood

    Month two
    miles away the heart grows fonder
    ears ring
    brag to friends 
    the love grows stronger
    Bonnie Raitt and sisterhood

    Month three
    is this the demise
    dinner with friends goes awry
    colds and coughs arise
    dates cancelled 
    no notice
    disappointment seeps 

    Month four 
    creeps in with out notice
    holiday season upon us
    family disguise
    skating glee
    the sick old month leaps

    Month five
    full holiday season
    rush rush rush
    front the perfect bf
    family family family
    dinners for two 
    morning walks pushed aside

    Month six
    three Saturdays without
    a mom of kids would notice
    a miss of a partner
    left unheard 
    communicate relate recenter
    3000 miles away 
    heart the escape
    I’ll go

    Month seven 
    what even is that
    it is no longer
    of needs not met
    in time and way how spent
    feelings voiced
    to rage and gaslit
    bait
    to end to end to end
    a romance that’s fade
