Feelings
August 15, 2021
Oh, as the night closes in,
we turn on the crockpots of our minds
with Brazillian dreams
of tulip trees and coffeepot skies
free of fear.
Days tighten
like a Christmas caroler’s icy raincoat.
Days loosen
like a penguin on tranquilizers.
My life is a wooden penguin
that the homeless people in California
bow down to.
I feel as unanchored
as a rag doll.
I feel helpless
and sad.
