An alarm wakes me
I turn over to see him
Who the hell is that?!?!
**********************
There was tequila
And dancing on the bar top
I'm gonna be sick
**********************
I am late for work
I wore these clothes yesterday
GAH! the walk of shame
**********************
Where is the coffee?
Time for Starbucks on the way?
NEED IT to survive…….
**********************
I crawl out of bed
And tip toe out the front door
Where the HECK AM I?
**********************
I call an Uber
It’s fine. This is fine. All is…..
Where is my wallet????
**********************
I look at my watch
There is no time for panic
OR to fix my hair
**********************
Messy bun it is
These are the days of my life
I am here for it

His Haibun
He does not like poetry; I write it anyway and do not tell him. It's true his face is not a poet's face. It is round and open, youthful; too apt to be compared to the sun. His nose is neat. It is impossible to imagine him smoking a cigarette, terse, full of cheekbones and tension. His warmth burns my fingertips. I am here for his fascinating body, the haphazard freckles I touch one by one; he is here for my eyes, just my eyes. A sunbeam sneaks through the curtains and pierces us both, sizzling the spices of his skin. I inhale and wrap myself in him. He kisses my eyes.

Timothy
My fingers inch closer to the keyboard, itching to obliterate a day's worth of work. It's some of my best writing I've done to date, but at what cost? The words seem to bleed, dripping onto my desk. For a millisecond, I'm sitting in front of a crime scene, looking at dead, begging eyes. Why? Why me?
