Metre

do not watch too closely
cogs in the wheel of time —

the rhythm of a poem —
not clicks of the abacus

Dry Fog of Oblivion

2025 October 4th2025 March 5th

after seven years of severe perimenopause
i am 95% no longer the person i used to be
and don’t even feel like a woman anymore
just a meltdown mutant shellshocked blob
of stress, desiccation, emotion, exhaustion

Let’s have six

2025 April 18th1995 April 29th

just 1  dance
just 1  kiss
just 1  brush
against my lips

2  brown eyes
gazing into mine
2  strong arms
holding me tight

3  little words
whispered in my ear

a little 4 play
5  minutes or so
the rest of the calculation
I’m sure you know!
