Time to pare things down.
Use up all the things in the pantry.
Fridge is mostly empty.
Too bad the bank account
is also near empty.

I can not move.
Paralysis has set in.
Numbness creeps along.
My mind wanders
in a frigid company.
Past the date.
No longer applicable.
Freshness cannot be guaranteed.
The card is not usable anymore.
My brain cells have finally died.
I was going to say dice
but then what about mice?
Or lice?
Worst would be Christ…
But all I really want is to lie
in a warm bath.
One errand after another.
One gets done.
On to the nest one.
Phone calls to make.
Offices to visit.
Things to buy.
People to drop off.
Only one person to do them all.
Don’t even mention the cleaning.
Worry overcomes.
Pain increases.
Dread supersedes.
Numbness combines.
Hope dwindles.
Love dies.
Random words
tossed down
The page fills up
Nothing of importance
Tidbits of daily life
What makes a good poem
a poem
Can I rhyme
or is freestyle the way to go
What difference
from shaking and shivering
with only the large fleece blanket
—-
to immediate warmth
as soon as I smoothed out
the bunched up sheet.
I finally fell asleep.
Guilt is a shame
hidden in words
made to confuse your emotions.
I have learned to spot it
after all these years.
Except when it is in my head
and the dreaded “should”
bashes around in it.
Is this my own thought?
Did I ask to do this?
Who did I think it was?
Gravity falls down.
My eyes turn star ward.
Light clouds my mind.
