Resolutions

Looking forward

one eye lined with kohl

stelliferous & blinky

to fires planned

bones

to be broken in the new year

Be Forgot

Moment

not to be forgot

in fact whole worlds

are built

upon its import

Small girl

sits alone

in a church vestibule

while adult women chat

adjacent

Oh just

leave her there

she’s pouting

Leave her alone

she needs to learn

Small girl

alone in a vestibule

to be forgot

as women’s laughter

fades

Energy

welcoming

slack water stillness

easy tide

Love is

morning chats

while you

are still asleep

but conversant

Plans for the day

when we return again

what’s for dinner

all of which

will be repeated

when you

are actually awake

Love is

not taking advantage

making lists for later

all the mundane shit

repeated

this morning

tomorrow morning

every day

Love is
