evening filled with
some craziness with the
wedding, and it's arriving in
three months.

Layers

A short
conversation
was shared, stilted comments
with an undercurrent of some
tension.

Filling Station

Today

while hanging out

in Flemington, I ran

into a former worker with

her son.

Crossing Bridges

As the days grow warmer,
I think back on happier times

With my active
poetry community.

Laughter, tears, bonding:
a sisterhood, a tribe.

Over time, change shifted
the landscape of our group.

Misunderstandings beginning
the rift.

Emotions pushing that divide
even further.

I wish things were like
they once were.

For now, I have memories
of times shared, celebrated.

Struggling

It creeps in once again,

that feeling of doubt,

No matter how much you write

or create,

Nothing I do will ever be

satisfactory. 

I struggle to push it down,

move on with my daily life,

Yet thoughts continue

to leak in and impede

My progress in writing,

creating, living.

guiding my day to a clearer

Difficult

Despite
many attempts
to help someone, they turn
the other way, without giving
reasons.

peaceful.

The day

at the same time each year,

our land.
