noise cancelling earbuds

I hear nothing but the beat

of my heart

wagtail chatter

the teens fall silent

in the shade

spent verbena bloom

falling, I skin my knee

to miss the sapling

kettle whistle

she holds back tears

talking of her mother

©️Sbwright2023

from the wood stove

a memory of grandma’s perfect

sponge cake

curl of steam

I press all my love

into the coffee

stray litter

three bundles of fur and claw

then two

©️sbwright2023

sunk to grief

a roo carcass among

dried thistles

teaching haiku

searching their faces for a moment

Aha!

disembodied

our faces flicker in the light

of our screens
