karma to pay

there is good reason i avoid,
dodge that dreaded question,
“where do you see yourself in five years”
I’ve always known, deep in my bones, dreaming is futile

do you ever wonder about karma?
were we so horrible, we two,
in some distant past life 
to have reaped such a high toll in this one?

ignore me, I’m thinking out loud again.
we should really think about…a ramp,
and one of those remote control beds 
it might help you, help me, help both of us, get some sleep

Na/GloPoWriMo Day 10 Prompt: Today, write your own meditation on grief. Try using (Geoffrey) Brock’s form as the “container” for your poem: a few short stanzas, with a middle section in which a question is repeated with different answers given.

Your Glimmer for today…look what I found on my morning walk with Gabby. Not sure where it came from or who it belongs to, but isn’t it lovely! Quite the work of art I’d say! And a confirmation that spring is in full swing!

Much love, peace, and glimmers to you!
