Friday’s Finish

Friday’s finish line
Pull ourselves from our boxes
It’s martini time

26th Anniversary

Twenty-six years in
Never more than a tussle
Our lives simply fit

Sleepy v. Awake

My retired parents
On a Wednesday night phone call
Are far more awake

Photo Placement Starts

Photos on the page
Try to tell the year’s story
In paltry glimpses

Return to Work

At vacation’s end
Gingerly step back to work
It feels quite unjust

Heading Back from Dublin

Dark Dublin cab ride
Saved by layover cocktails
Sun-filled outdoor club

Chilled by the Wind

The gale numbed our heads
Not unlike Irish swimmers
In November seas 

Nice Try

She stumbled to him
And put on her best drunk moves
As his wife watches

History in Action

The blurring of time
Where the eras shade musings
Makes the topics pop

Shoes First

The clock taps its foot
Next steps wait for judgy me
Time-boxed shoe shopping
