A Generational Thing

Still Life, 1907 by John Frederick Peto

A GENERATIONAL THING
(a shadorma)

A new mom
in need of a break
finds comfort
in seeing
a hat, umbrella, and bag…
she sighs, mom is here.

Lost and Found

 
LOST AND FOUND

In and out
of my apartment,
back and forth,
doing my
laundry…he was there, watching,
tugging at my heart.

Puppy dog
eyes pleaded with me.
He wasn’t
begging, he
just needed help, asking me
to find him a home.
