Afternoon of June 28, 2023

waiting at the platform a fateful jump

~Eavonka Ettinger

balcony argument who’s the pushover now

~Roberta Beach Jacobson

wicked witch

melts into a green puddle

what a world

~Eavonka Ettinger

When the day is done

And the house has quieted

I miss you the most

~Jennifer Gurney

skid row

being fed a soup of

empty promises

~Eavonka Ettinger

From Beyond

 

It came from

over there

in the mirror.

 

Which is just the worst

when you’re over fifty.

~Noah Berlatsky

Fleabag

This dump is a fleapit, the dogs don’t stay here.

Dogs know to avoid getting flea-bitten.

This dive is down in the dumps, and so am I.

Diving into a pile of trash is more fun and has fewer fleas.

~Nolcha Fox / Julie A Dickson

even in a tutu a flea still a flea

~Roberta Beach Jacobson

all roads lead to roaming
