Snapshot Poem

28 September 02016

R.I.P. Max Richards

I struggle up

from unpleasant

dreams. Sit down

to put on my socks.

Go downstairs one

step at a time.

I sweep yellow leaves

from the garden chair.

Another day.

Another death.

Another hole

in the social net.

Another blank canvas.

Another unwritten poem.

I pull my winter coats

from the back closet.

A steady

unravelling

at the center

of this abundant life.
