​

​

brake lights awaken

as my pulse rate skyrockets

daydreaming to death

too fast to review my life

life taken for granted now

 

​

​

​

hawk flying over

scanning for any movement 

graceful attacker

zeroes in on a field mouse

now serving rodent hors d’oeuvres

 

​

​

​

sibling rivalry

waste of time and energy 

both from the same womb

cut equal from one fabric

combine forces, don’t divide

 

​

​

​

anxiety reigns

eyes clouded over with stress

deep controlled inhales 

in with clear refreshing thoughts

out with pain & destruction 

 

​

​

​

graceful chickadee 

glides to a seamless landing

perched on a feeder

stocked with nutritious spoils

accomplished...she heads nest bound

 

​

​

​

frost covered windshield 

defroster don’t fail me now

should’ve planned better

on time arrival in doubt

need a scraper to clear this 

​
