old wedding photos
a glass of wine
kisses her lips

2

        inhale deeply
release the tension
last smoke this time

3

birthday card
don't look
at the cash

4

his cologne
on lingerie
that isn't hers

5

he puts in earbuds
to tune out
his mistake

6

steamy hot iron
maneuvers his buttons
a tear escapes

7

roasted coffee
lingers inside
performance enhancing mug

8

self isolation
same kitchen, same room
what is life

9

paper planes
another worry
flies away

10

tangled cables
Dad's Atari
never turns on

11

Scooby Doo fruit snacks
the blue ones
always my favorite

12

covered in dust
in the garage
The Lion King VHS tape

13

last day on earth
perspective
cured depression

14

midnight movie night
she shows her son
the real Willy Wonka

15

grocery shopping
      kid cuisine
      has evolved

16

STAR WARS

wide black eyes
his small green hands
rest on Din's cheek

a final goodbye
"I love you"
"I know."

betrayed and blinded
you did
what you were meant to do

immobile
cold mist on skin
carbonite

purple sunset
both moons
slowly rise

attractive little grin
       scruffy looking
       nerf herder

the galaxy
in her eyes
"you're my only hope"
