each piece of the day
comes too slow
poorly conceived
ill executed
making do
and doing
acknowledging gratitude
for love
and the task of opening
40 cans of tomato sauce
dumping them into a pot
rinsing the cans again
helping with dinner
some friends are easier to make
than others
uncertainty is a tough nut
***
there is an image
in the mind’s eye
of a green inward glow
a removable truth
that might exculpate
might validate
might damn
there is an image
of a green glow
between pelvis and rib
let it not be removed
