Small town existence
the silence of the morning
echoes through the fog.

Small town existence
the silence of the morning
echoes through the fog.

Spiky, on my path,
polished in hi-vis orange;
the healer, aloe.

Spider makes her home
between the grooves of cactus—
house plant becomes host.

Down an alleyway;
cold mornings and coffee shops
warm hug in a mug.

Roaming our sidewalks,
awry limbed shadow figures;
paintings no one sees.
