Field Mouse of Dreams

Middle of the night,
Rodent’s stirring awakens–
My insomnia.

Coffee, Tea, or …

As you fall asleep,
do you think of that first deep
draught of hot liquid?

Letting Go …

Sitting in
my mother’s final
sleeping room
weeping to
the sound of Perry Como
as I watch her go.

Mondaze

7:00 a.m, warm
quicksand sucks me back under …
for another doze.

This morning,
you roused me from the
deepest sleep,
to show me
a skunk was in our garden,
but it had slunk off.
