Cover

Pink clouds, kawaii girl

Sleeping, eating candy

Reading

Pale blue with gold accents

Die-cut night scene

Textured dresses

Dolls lined up

Floating in moonlight

Strawberry shiny surface

Picnic table Polaroid

Enderdragon facemask

Sewn in gift tags 

Fluoxetine package

Paperclip starling

Washi rose pocket

Wine lace

Rainbow mixtape

Cocoanut cherry (no typo)

Phone lines mochi

Party time

Fielding stars counting

To-do lists and journalling supplies

Easy peasy lemon squeezy

To pour air,

Dare bash a mirror

Dogs stare at thirty shards in sad

Minutes and gargle. A porch to

Knap cacao shaft foray

Reach strands of ruche

You are here

My skin a map

Polka-dotted hopscotch

Scalpel and lens

Are travelling friends

Formlines 

A wall chart shows

Contours and elevation

While cartographers

Orbit my torso

Plotting spots

Tagging points

My thoughts go south

Yet my mouth

Utters I’m in good health other than my obesity, anxiety, depression, and stress

Shelving in the cool back room

A brief respite for my frantic mind

Ordering titles and lining up spines

Shelving in the cool back room

Outside the visitors bask in the sunshine

Inside I am tallying up time

Shelving in the cool back room

A brief respite for my frantic mind

Thanks Gabbie for the Unexpected inspiration.

Nobody don’t look

An absent blogger posted non-poetry

You didn’t need

The lack of self-awareness

Of this forty-something dirtbag
