there is little planning
in shaved ice
the muddling of a sugar cube
splashed with bitters
whiskey roads
leading to Manhattans on a Friday night.
Alone doesn't mean lonely
sometimes.
most times.

Bee Dream
I tried to find joy
in the lavender honey
spread across the expanse of my toast.
Yet, I couldn't shake the dream.
My father was certain there was
a hive of bees in the wall.
Pounding with a two by four
he tried to smoke them out.
The bees swarmed
a mighty rush of longing to see him.
I awoke to Mother's Day remembrance
of father more mother than mother
both honeycombed in the earth.
