Are Empty Beds a Good Thing?
I’m at the emergency room
Unable to sleep at night
There are three empty beds in front of me
It’s February 18, 2022
Nurses’ Station
Blue scrubs and face masks
Paperwork and monitors
And continual check ups
Waiting for the next emergency
The night shift is ready
Scented Love
I didn’t realize I was a fan till I saw it
It was a spark of desire
to own and to hold
to feel the warmth in my hand
to smell the top notes and base notes
the heart notes mixing with afternoon light
Melting by my side
Wax and music playing down the day
Cast small fires
upon peaceful loves
Get to Continue
It’s a blessing to begin again
To renew old hopes
and have a revival
Getting a second chance
or maybe third or fourth
having that 7x 70 life
with moments to spare
I thought I had a story to tell
then I, myself got in the way
But I get to continue
To write and post and live
To laugh and cry simultaneously
To dream and stay hungry.
