deep blank stare
sitting by my feet
man’s best friend

text from mom

old pictures
sitting on the shelf
i really need to dust

such a great day to . . .
be grateful for the ones we,
see everyday

TOP half Chamption

bottom quarter champion

spine tingling
i watch him shave his face
in the mirror

hot shower
time to think
about life

dripping wet
wrapped like tacos
the moon shines

    lifting my cup up,
I ask the moon
    to drink with me . . .

TOP half champion

BOTTOM half champion

the next morning

don’t cry
stars themselves
must part

donuts with dad
mine
not here

oh, how tenderly she caresses
drugstore dolls . . .

BOTTOM half champion

bottom quarter champion

death rattle . . .

great grandma

sitting alone
the headstone reads
“little brother”

bent over in pain
rush to the ER
what could have been
