it’s a sign of ambition
that fire in one’s belly
but after years of toiling
could be an ulcer

I love you, dear, for better
for shared hopes and dreams, laughter
and I love you, dear, for worst
things I can’t recall

sense of urgency is code
for ‘can you work late tonight?’
work-life balance talk’s a ploy
to keep us loyal

~kat

sometimes I rest my head close
to yours when you are sleeping
to breathe the air that swirled
‘round your beating heart

~kat

if water coolers could talk
there would be a steady flow
of scandalous scuttlebutt
drip by dirty drop
