ghostly knockings
from our old fridge
papa loved eating

fall sneaks in
don’t need a calendar
the bones know

out of hospital
limping up the driveway
big, empty house

hot soaking my feet
cats gather at the bucket
ready for fishing

Murder, She Wokked
Yes, you gave me life
And now want it back
One deep fried peanut butter
Banana sandwich at a time.
Resolution Haiku
So many promises
To my fat self this New Year;
So many leftovers!
Marketing
The self-effacement of women
Is as diamonds turning to coal
Wheat become worms and weeds
Oceans gone fatally barren.
Thistle frail doll looks into
A mirror, touches bone china
Breasts with spindle fingers
And sees The 800 Pound Woman
From the marketing circus.
Fast
Today I discovered
New bones around my belly.
Pants are beginning to fit better
As I excavate a man
Smothered and forgotten.
