A slice of cake and
A cup of coffee with cream
Mid-winter morning
Chill of fog creeping in and
Over the hills into me.
Writer in San Francisco, CA
Cooking ground beef and
Boiling pasta in water
Drain, sauce to pan add
pasta, meat and I think of
how time moves, slipping past us.

A drink for the night
Crisp golden ale with some chips
A show, a laugh, yes
Simple moments like this to
Take the mind away once more.

Honeybees playing
Bouncing and buzzing between
Flowers and I slip
Into daydreams of summer
Into nightmares of winter

Hot earl grey tea in
the morning a quiet cry
lingers in the blood
the people in a panic
“Leaders” calling themselves kings
