Weathered

Cowboy,
your calloused hands
with their wrinkles and scars
like a gnarled old oak tree who
survived.

Stranger

Predator on a hunt
reeling them in with
eye-contact and a smile –
You’ll never see it coming.

Breakfast

I would love bacon
or silver dollar pancakes
with maple syrup…
But many mornings I can
barely get to work on time.
