One More Thing

ONE MORE THING

papers filed
bills paid
ducks
all settled in a row

I am prepared
to leave;
wait–one more thing
before I go…

The note.

Written for Poetic Asides prompt to write a “preparation” poem…and yes, for me: fiction.

Coming Up For Air

COMING UP FOR AIR
(a shadorma)

morning thirst
and midday hunger
are quenched while
soaking in
the lemon-filled blue that’s laced
with candied cotton
