Egg Salad

A crunch to spoil the
Creamy texture I spread thick.
Celery, too much.

Cold Toes

Toes, dressed against
cold. Still chilled and damp, remind
movement is a must.

Trembles only felt,
never seen by the world at large
have given roots strength.

It Would

It came skipping
in exuberance unchecked.
A child with something to say.

It left,
deflated.
Dismissed by the one it would engage,

and aged.

Nighttime Sounds

.
Creak of staircase sounds.
Eyes through spindles peering.
“I’m thirsty Mommy.”

.
The clock ticks constant.
Refrigerator purring.
Air through nose louder.

.
Rolling over, pops.
Rejected sheets whisper,
one more bathroom trip.
