Your soft steps, velvet
nose, contented sigh- miss you
much on your birthday.

December 8, 2017

Invisible loss
miscarriage is not to mute
crowd- empty wombs, words.

July 21, 2017

Your birthday comes, but
you’re not here to celebrate-
miss you every day.

I need blinding sun
to thaw winter from my heart-
summer creeps through me.

June 23, 2016

That faraway look
in my eyes, I have it more
now- find me elsewhere.

June 21, 2016

Inside my heart, a
winter's scene, bare tree, empty
bench- outside, summer.

June 19, 2016

The shadows grow long,
as you slip away from me-
now I walk alone.

June 18, 2016

Identity stripped,
pieces of me fall away-
my shadow remains.

June 17, 2016

Let me linger hours
longer, dreams obscure my pain-
sleep reunites us.

June 16, 2016

At sunset I'll kiss
you goodbye- sweet child, I'll hold
you in my deep thoughts.
