Something

I see an old friend
she spends the day
so we can catch up on our lives.

She had a rare cancer

it’s in remission
she’s living the gift of life.

I want to start

a writing group
right here in my neighborhood.

The woman who would help

died of a heart attack
unexpectedly, in the middle of the night.

Decade Question

Whenever I

get shaky or dizzy

from exhaustion,

or take a nap,  

I feel the fear

seeping through

tired bones. Am I

to loose the energy

I have had, this

another harbinger

of my sixth decade,

do I need a wonder med,

or do I only need to adjust?
