heartwood

bark on the old tree
i would become an artist
just to draw this bark
one day i will be a tree
one day i will feel better

GUEST POST // sustenance by Tremaine L. Loadholt

miss cooking for him
and on most days, for her, too
I cook anyway
energy needs assistance
I thrive on this love

cold comfort

no one wants to die
no one wants to say goodbye
no one wants to cry
void their headstone of the lie
that there is a by the by

the moment before she smiles

just call me by name
make me turn swiftly around
lift my lowered hood
beneath a leaky awning
make us blab till the rain ends

dearthly yours

a faded plate says
it tried to end world hunger
but went belly up
