Cherry

The bed isn't made tonight
and
it got cold in here
very quickly

My eyes strobe

My veins swell

I see everything
too clearly
and
all too often

I wonder what I should
be thinking

Wet blades of grass blow
in the wind one by one/
Seventy miles an hour
and their movements
pulse through
my entire body


I have never made it this far before

Powerful imagery and feeling.

Great to see you writing again.

You always have such evocative endings to your poems.
