Young, lithe limbs waving
In unison amidst cheers;
Glastonbury awaits.


"How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives." – Annie Dillard
Drops of rain clinging
Outside glass walls, counting down
Their final seconds.
Are you ready to
Stop playing their game, and start
Your own Game of Life?
A plaintive love song
Wafts through the air, fills the room
As sleep drowns my sight.

A perfect bundle
Of fur and purrs and promise:
My little Kati.

The room is silent
Except for the soft purr of
A somnolent cat.

The fog of Time masks
Our futures from our poor selves
We know not what waits.
In her twinkling eyes,
Behold: the fruits of her Love,
Her sons, Mother’s pride.
In fret, dejected
In sadness, disconsolate
Darkness defeats me.
We jump through these hoops
For what? Why do we play these
Performative games?
