Antibiotics and steroids
This is my routine
October day near eighty
Not for me
Take the dogs for a walk
See my skin revolt
Feel my mind shrivel
Lump in my throat
I love the fall
It’s usually for me
My energy returns
Not this year

Stick to the plan, Stan.
No. Stay flexible, man.
So, what do you want?

There was an overwhelming feeling.
I have been letting someone down.
My fear stopped me short of my goals.
It is not like me to let another get in my heart.
I did not want to be Carly Simon.
My heart was held hostage.
I want to make this right.
What I have is mine.
Just the sharing does not make it his.
That is all I have to say about that.

I’m Missing
I know the time is creeping near.
When will you be home, my dear?
I spend all my time complaining.
My interest in life is truly waning.
Sorry if I come across as rude.
I’m not even looking at food
I know we fulfilled many things.
Still, being away from you stings.

Weeks away from you
Time without the natural
Inspiration lost

I’ve been waiting all week
It’s just one show
But, ugh, these boys
Loud, loud boys
Arguing over a video game
Then it’s over
Laughing like hyenas
I can’t hear my show
I can’t concentrate
It’s only a show
This makes me happy
This makes me whole

One long day
And the next is shorter
Downhill from here
Summer has come
But brings a reminder
Only gonna stay a while

I work.
It hurts.
I’m stiff.
Keep on.
Who cares?
Not me.
I guess.
Not you.
Normal life.

I’m hearing the same tune
Over and over and over again
A little repiticious
Don’t ya think
Just a few more days
The tune will change
All will be right in my world
Every baby where they belong
For now

If I can’t be near my lake
Please open up the sky
Take me far away from her
I will miss my mother too much
If you take me from my lake
Then bring me to the sky
My father is there with the stars
I will be home with little bear in my eyes
