half way

through the housework

i take a nap

 doom scrolling 

my ear pods playing the blues

linger my finger

hush i said

and broke my vow of silence

offering nothing 

a white feather

falling from the hawk’s claws

fight or flight 

 the silk road is long

the spice islands far away

from our brand new world

please send a thought eagle

with a wriggling word or two

 the blot

introduces a typo

to prove it’s not a bot

 love is

supporting the cat for those 

hard to lick places 

 hot day

a light aircraft

climbs 

and climbs 

and climbs 

 become a shrine

make shambolic the offering

to the insanity of it all

 two toes

an ocean apart

tides turn

 a gift of seeds

germinating the name

cotyledon 

 standing heat

covered with honeydew 

al fresco
