Eclipse

a lifetime moment

when the moon comes and takes the

sun’s moment to shine

Picture credit to my fiance, Michael. He took this with his telescope.

I meant to post this in the morning today… but I do have an excuse. Drove up to Newport, VT yesterday to view the eclipse and got home 1am last night. ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ช๐Ÿ˜ด

It was so worth it, though!

Heart Monitor

like a parasite
latched to my chest
it reads
and knows
when my life’s blood
hesitates


I currently have a heart monitor on for the month of April…my body hates me, hah. Hearts been skipping a beat/pounding. Could be all normal…could be not. Better to be safe than sorry! This poem is silliness. But sometimes we must make light of the very serious. It’s the only way we survive. It’s the only way I survive.

Radio-head

on campus
so many young
and beautiful students
and here I am

still feeling like I did
when I was young
and beautiful
not knowing it then
or believing it now

realizing that I
look at myself
with a self-loathing
that’s so very sad

walking around
each heavy step
or hard breath
echoes

I hate you
I hate you
I hate you


More often than not, been finding myself in a constant battle of self doubt. I definitely forgot to post this on Monday ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ was a busy weekend! Happy Thursday, all!

Vet Haiku

the dog is hurting

take to surgeon, cost of leg

walking, maybe not


Our Koda bear is at the vet right now, getting a sedated Xray to see the extent of a CCL tear in his right knee. It’s difficult when your dog is hurt. ๐Ÿ˜ž ๐Ÿ˜ข

Entourage

having two dogs
is like
having a furry entourage

they will follow you
everywhere

except
it’s less about your support

or being an escort
and more like

how much
they need you desperately
