sweeps through barren trees
ice-nipped air, drizzling sleet,
crisp, the leaves beneath our feet

Finally! I voted! Had a coworker on the “other side” try to convince me to stay home, promising that they would do the same. “Call a truce”, they said. “No can do,” I said. Every vote matters. Now we wait to see the results. Gonna be a looooong night!

a simple blot of ink
reveals our souls, check,
mark the box, make your mark
jot your heart out, you little nib

the sky is falling
clouds burst, billowing
this cold, grey mourning
heaven is weeping

sometimes family
is not born, bound by dna…
sometimes family,
one’s tribe, is discovered
