    You should see how good she looks



    Words spoken
    Gossip mills
    Even nice ones
    Poke jab ill will
    of aging,
    defying the option
    over 50
    or 40
    or 30
    yet wrinkle to wrinkle
    the lines they settle
    the dark spots
    and every new crinkle

    ever hear someone
    tell you
    replace the negative
    words with positive
    it’s a habit
    to form to
    rise above
    the norm
    the glum
    and the down in the
    dump days

    now I hear what have you done
    Botox restlyn what filler?
    tummy tuck Brest lift
    neck snip
    no
    replace the words vibrating low
    in the air
    or thoughts in my head when I look in the mirrow
    to how beautiful
    those loving eyes
    my what they have seen
    felt
    cried

    head to the woods feel the sun
    cross my eyes
    brisk walk in the streets
    people watch
    and smile
    don’t
    no time for blood pricked
    from my arm to rejuvenate my skin
    that’s what inversions are for
    and pumping iron at the gym

  • Air of Possibilities

    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.


  • Time is Money

    The value I need 
    to meet in my man
    Exceeds a check list
    or well laid plan

    time money
    sense of self
    should go without saying
    enough, I’m done

    not playing
    around
    come to me come to me come to
    beg pardon plead
    respect and what exactly does that mean

    breadcrumbs and morsels
    keep going please
    kind words and security
    only
    for me
    I’m worthy,
    I am enough
