A sip - a sip or two
Cinnamon sticks and cloves in few
floating stars and citrus moons
honey sweet in tablespoons -
A deep plum shade warmed orange-flame
Ladled into mug-shaped frames.
Our smiles stained, recalling days
Of years before and how things change.
before you know
The drink runs dry
Were shaking hands and hugs goodbye,
just mulling over passing time.

Harboring Happiness - Day 6
Today in harboring happiness, I have lost it. I think of brevity and how good things won’t ever last as long as we hope. With my friends who can sense my sadness and try to drown it with slobbery kisses, we continue our search and rescue in the field where stories begin and never end.

The Voyeur's Incandescent Reasoning
The woman sat nonplussed, in the Waiting Room. In a sort of daze, looking straight ahead patiently. She had already had three small breakfast's that morning and a nip of sherry, this was not unusual she would typically wait until an hour after she took her anti-depressant and was her morning routine. She was merely following instructions she assured herself, shifted slightly in her seat and feeling a little heart burn thought, maybe she should skip lunch. Dom had said to have the task done this week. She was well used to his methods and desired to get this over and done with soon. She glanced at her watch, smiled weakly at the Receptionist who was there for a moment and then gone.
